Walnut Creek Atmosphere in Dolores Park?
Mission District blog uses the Creek as a symbol of not so free spirit — say it ain't so!
Walnut Creek, you're being used as a symbol again!
This time it's "Mission Mission," a blog that speaks to the Mission District in San Francisco. They have a story about the growth of a family atmosphere in Mission Dolores Park, and how that's inhibiting gay men who sunbathe on the grassy knoll there.
And then they out (pun intended) with the line: "Free spirit has been replaced with a Walnut Creek-like atmosphere," and immediately turn around to say the Walnut Creek line is "melodramatic."
I dunno. Seems like the Creek is carrying a lot of baggage here. Any Walnut Creekers — gay or family or gay family — want to weigh in on how they feel about Dolores Park these days in our comment slot below?
