FYI to any bay area housing twitter folks who are free on weekdays between 1 and 5p: Berkeley has a library with an archive of the Telegraph Hill Dwellers’ newsletter from the 60s. I think it could be… interesting to see what their use of language looks like in that era.
Uh… you know about _Tales of the City_? (or is that archaic?) Fiction, but realistic except for the plot. Set on Telegraph Hill in mid-70s.
