Sunday morning rain was falling...as I traveled on the M outbound toward a place I have never heard of before. The rain finally stopped as the M passed Balboa Park. I got off off the Muni at Church and 24th, I had reached my destination. Noe Valley.
The quaint district surrounded by three hills was full of pedestrians walking along the sidewalks and chatting at cafes.
As I walked into the stores along 24th Street, I was greeted with the friendliest smiles and hellos. Everyone I came into contact with in Noe Valley was nothing but nice to me. I had never been to that area before and I was surprised to find everyone's personalities were warm and they were willing to tell me a little about this place.
I learned that this place was really into going green. I am very passionate about being green myself; its refreshing to know that most, if not all of Noe Valley feels the same way that I do.
Later that night I talked to my roommates about my time in Noe Valley and how I had fallen in love. I bought each of us mini cupcakes from Noe Valley Bakery. To no surprise we all loved them! We're planning on going back to the stop at Church and 24th street.
The sense of home that resides in Noe Valley is a breath of fresh air so-to-speak. When one thinks of San Francisco they usually think of Union Square or Pier 39. A family oriented town where going green is in and where smiles are a constant. Noe Valley you're an amazing place, don't ever change.
