You know of my love for "Tales of the City" and its author Armistead Maupin.

SFGate has this lovely story about the real Barbary Lane (actually Macondray Lane, hidden but public if you know where to look.)

The story also features the neighbors who keep up all the hidden lanes of Russian Hill in San Francisco.

@donaldham easy to find. Worth a hill hike.

@donaldham Also, he was super cute. He always gave good eyes.

@donaldham @jboeckli Macondray Lane is easy to find IF you know that’s what Barbary Lane was based on.

For many years I had a framed photo on my wall of the big house visible at the top of the stairs that I took on my first visit in the early 90’s.

@donaldham if you want your own #BarbaryLane #streetsign, I made one for free.
So if you like you could print it out now:
