I went downtown to spend it on a day that had seen several inches of snow. I didn't have change for the bus and no one would break such a large bill. I tried to get a cab, but none would stop. I tried to panhandle bus fare, but no one would even talk to me. Homewood-Brushton is east of East Liberty on the map.
Downtown is where the big, black dot is in the middle.
The green line pretty much follows the route I walked for almost 5 hours. 1979 I was living in Tiburon and taking classes and working in San Francisco. Most mornings I would take a bus into The City. Every day that I was at the busstop, the Tiburon Police would stop me, ask me where I was going, if I lived in the neighborhood, and could they see some identification. 1981 I was working and renting a room in an apartment in Berkeley, California.
