Intimidated? No... Not anymore

So, walking down the streets of Fillmore during the work week is much different than I would have expected. Residents are so much nicer! I mean, I was only there for about an hour or two before I headed to work, but even then I was able to get perspective about Fillmore from residents.

During my initial visits to Fillmore (which happened during weekends), residents were less willing to talk to some random journalism student. I enjoyed my pastry at Fillmore Bakery and was able to talk to some SFSU students who live on Fillmore or frequently visit (due to the jazz night at Cafe International and the bars, of course).

I love to people-watch, so I just sat outside and just observed the culture that lay behind Fillmore.

Oh, and every Sunday around 4 p.m., Cafe International holds a free jazz concert. I plan on checking that out sometime soon!
