I was so excited to finally get to be here. This was where history was made, and this was where Harvey Milk spent his time. I only wish he were around... If I had seen him walk out of the theatre or out of a restaurant, I would've ran up and hug him without hesitation.
I couldn't help but feel the love while I was in Castro, even if I and my friends don't fit the LGBT category. We tried finding this vegan ice cream store but it apparently didn't exist... (we found out later on it had closed down weeks prior.)
We had finally gotten to Castro Camera and I stopped dead in my tracks. I tried envisioning the documentaries I watched and the video footage of the place entered my mind. Can you believe that this was real? I wish I were able to walk in and be greeted by a smiling face. I need a wide-angle lens anyway ;)
Now I think it's going to become a little museum of some sort. There were informative displays in the window and some memorabilia.
We went to eat at Harvey's afterward, a restaurant in place of once a historical pub and now serves as a tribute to the wonderful man. The food was great and there were a lot of vegan options. LOVE!
Can't wait to come back when I'm legal.
