Almost Free from San Francisco
My wife and I are moving from San Francisco. Instead of selling
our old things, we offered an exchange: stuff for stories.
Saturday, April 18, 2015
We set up shop on the corner of 15th and Church, the border of
The Mission and Castro neighborhoods.
We told people to pick one item and one prompt from an orange sticky.
Then, get in front of the camera and talk to us.

Thanks to all the neighbors for helping out. If you were interviewed and don’t see yourself here, it’s because I forgot to turn the microphone on.
San Francisco, we’ll miss you.
