Thanks for reviving some special memories - Buena Vista is the best, especially at night when the singing spontaneously starts!

It all rings so true, Russ. When I rolled into SF after a stint in the Army, I lived with my sister and her boyfriend in the front room of an old Victorian on Hyde and Bay streets. The cable car cables would begin clanking at 6 am and stop at 2 am the next morning. I’d always “hear” the sudden silence when asleep (although in those days, I was often awake at 2 am, if you get my drift . . . )
