Charlie Manson lived on Cole Street in the 60s. I don't think he lived in this particular house on upper Cole, but he could have. The neighborhood has changed somewhat since then. It's more upscale, but it's still a neighborhood. I lived off of Cole on Grattan for awhile. It was quiet. The bakery around the corner on Cole was fantastic. That was before we knew how awful carbs were for us. The Haight is still pretty much a zoo. I try to get away as quickly as I can. But things quiet down pretty fast as soon as you turn off of Haight and gets quieter the farther up you walk. Cole is a neighborhood. There's a hardware store and restaurants and you can buy a newspaper there. The N Judah stops there. And in the early evening the setting sun can make a house light up and shine like gold.

Stumble It!
