The neighbors are very quiet, so it's a peaceful place to reside. However they are very restrictive as far as who they accept, and neither you or I qualify. |

However they are very restrictive as far as who they accept, and neither you or I qualify. Does one have to be a faggot to qualify? I do believe that a key - if not prime- prerequisite to qualify is that only one's personal, own ashes are permitted. So faggot or not, you do not presently qualify...though some day (hopefully later rather than sooner) in the future you will. Another interesting bit - a person's remains is no longer for the most part permitted in San Francisco. Early in the 20th century, exisiting cemeteries were closed and the bodies supposedly moved to Colma, which - with the continued burial of SF folks there over the years since - has gained the cachet of having more dead people than live ones. But there are four places in San Francisco where a person's remains is permitted. The Columbarium in the Richmond district is one. The others are the columbarium at Grace Cathedral, the National Cemetery at the Presidio, and the graveyard at the Mission Dolores. http://www.sanfranciscocemeteries.com/ http://www.colma.ca.gov/briefhis.html Of related interest is the following under 1992 in the SF Public Library timeline ( http://sfpl.lib.ca.us/news/125/timeline.htm ) "The Library excavation uncovers part of the old jail and other rubble from City Hall when it collapsed in the 1906 earthquake. Also found is a wedding band, one of the last remains of the Yerba Buena Cemetery that once held more than 5,000 bodies and was removed in 1870. " |

Thankfully, there is a Starbucks Interactive Brewer at the Richmond District Columbarium. The beans for each cup are individually ground. No espresso drinks, only French Roast (caf or decaf), hot chocolate, and Tazo tea. Oh, and it's free. |
