I'm prepping to write a few posts that stray from my original flow goal. This is not one of them, but I thought Zoo fans might be interested.
I was alerted yesterday that the 70s TV show The Streets of San Francisco will marathon on Decades Channel (180 locally) this weekend. The episode that was filmed at the Zoo airs tomorrow night, Sunday March 12 at 10pm.
I posted about this back in 2009 on my first Zoo blog, which was all about good stuff, two years before I was treated badly and slandered by Director Tanya Peterson. That treatment prompted me to start documenting all the stuff that's just not right.
For those who would prefer to just see the parts of the episode that have the Zoo, I filmed them off TV and included them in that blog post. Look close and you can see old Monkey cages and Triple Grotto in the video leads.

I'm also in the process of finalizing editing and adding stories to a book I wrote for the most part in 2007. I realized many years ago that my book is not only a memoir to my teenage adventures, but a love letter to My City. For those who grew up here, or have been here since before tech moved in, you know what I mean. As a City native of that era, I can't fully express how much I love The Streets Of San Francisco. If I could, I'd have screens in every room and down the hall, with the show on loop.
My hometown has seen too many changes over the last twenty plus years, and most not for the better. The character this town was built on, what I was lucky to experience, is mostly gone. It saddens me, and those aren't just words. As I screen-capped the guide page to include elsewhere, a wave of melancholy came over me and I shed some tears. Not since the 90s has The City been what it once was.
That all said, San Francisco may never be what it once was, but the San Francisco Zoo can still be all that it can be. We just need a Director who cares.
