Has moved from it's Jones Street location over to 6th, between Market and Mission. Went there five days after it had reopened, and I'm sad to say the food wasn't what it used to be. The scramble was undercooked, and my potatoes were not crispy. But my pancake, that I shouldn't have ordered, because it was WAY too much food, was delicious! The space was super cute, brick walls, hardwood floors, kinda reminded me of restaurants in Portland. They even had bathrooms! I'll be back though, gotta give it the benefit of the doubt. I'm sad to see them move out of the Tenderloin, they were a bright breakfast beacon in the heart of a troubled neighborhood. But, business is boomin', so they moved out of their tiny spot, and employed a bunch of new people that seemed nice. I can only hope that the food will be awesome once again.
My Planned Parenthood on Eddy, between Van Ness and Franklin, has closed its doors:
No warning to me, or any of its vast numbers of patients. Seven years I've been going there, and all my information GONE, as far as I know. So, I'm dealing with the ONLY other Planned Parenthood that seems to exist in San Francisco. I called and got the run around, and because I'm a procrastinator, I've almost run out of my birth control pills, and I'm facing a dilemma...gotta get more, ASAP.
I was told to go to a drop-in clinic. I got there at 8:30am, as it said online that they would be open then. When I arrived, I was informed that the clinic doesn't open until 10. I was given no more information than that, so I left and came back at 10.
When I arrived for the second time there were a bunch of girls sitting in the lobby.. I was then told that they only see eight people, and there were already eight people signed up, but if I'd like to wait, there may be an opening later in the afternoon, but most likely I wouldn't be seen. I was blind with rage. I've only been given the least amount of information at every turn. I told the receptionist, that, I would have waited when I first arrived if I had known this was going to happen. She only repeated herself. She didn't apologize for her mistake, or make any effort to rectify the situation. I found out today, this is what it's like in free-clinic-land in San Francisco. No bueno.
As I left, I was crazy angry and frustrated, not only upset with the unhelpful receptionist, upset with myself as well. For not having insurance, for not having a job that offers me insurance, for not having a regular doctor, and for waiting until after the new year to take care of my business.
I had a sweet setup at Planned Parenthood Golden Gate. And I for one am sad to see that they're gone.
After a lame day like today, only awesome can help:
Cops on horsey's! Yay!
