When Carlie moved to Cole Valley last summer, she noticed a “new opening” on her walk to the pharmacy. The aroma of java attracted her olfactory nerve and she breezed into the balloon infested door of PEET’S Coffee and Tea’s GRAND OPENING on that bright August summer’s day. Carlie was thrilled that PEET’S took over the vacant space formerly housed by Tully’s Coffee. “YAY, YAY and YAY”, she splurted out trying not to let the excitement spill her hot cup o joe! And fairly soon after the opening, the locals were haggling PEET’S to expand further. So it wasn’t surprising that Carlie was pleased to see tables and chairs springing up on the sidewalk outside PEET’S! She snapped this pic of engaging customers enjoying their brews and cellular devices!

Cole Valley, Elmo, Muni

Carlie did something she never thought she would do before moving to Cole Valley. That is, selling her car! “I am NOT going to mess with street parking every day. It’s horrendous around here. And besides, I really could use the cash!”, she exclaimed, while thumbing through her mediocre-filled wallet. She sat on the floor perusing through Next Muni choices on her smart phone. “Wow-y, wow-y. Look at all the routes that are within a thumbs reach!”, she shouted to herself. The mainline she was excited about was the N-Judah going downtown. So Carlie zipped on her khaki jacket and raced out the door towards Carl and Cole Streets, where the N stop stood. No sooner did she step up from the curb, swirled around with flying arms, excited to make a trip downtown, when she flicked her head upward and glanced at the 2nd floor of a corner building. Her eyes nearly popped out into the street. “OMG, IT’S ELMO!! I LOVE IT”, Carlie screamed. She has an affinity for soft, furry, cuddly things, and seeing this amused her. Upon future trips on the N downtown, she noticed Elmo dressed in funny attire, or wearing shades, or standing on his head! “THIS is why I moved to Cole Valley. A place with a sense of humor, is a place for Carlie Cole!”.

FRENCH INFLUENCE ABOUNDS IN COLE VALLEY

Carlie may have left the hustle and bustle of downtown San Francisco last summer, but her new life in Cole Valley has been full of nice surprises and influences of the French kind. The evenings here in Cole Valley can get quite foggy and breezy. On a recent stroll up Cole, Carlie’s brown beret (purchased last year in her favorite part of Paris-the Marais) flew off her head and landed near an iron-gated entry to a flat. After retrieving her beret, her eyes focused on the upper section of the gate. To her surprise, the design had incorporated one of Carlie’s favorite symbol…the fleur-du-lys! “Oui Oui, ce qui est beau!!”, she shouted in her fractured French, and drew quite a bit of attention from passersby before managing to snap this photo.

Carlie thought how fantastic it would be to capture more French iconography and compile them into a pictorial book. Her smile was as wide as the Seine!

A TUXEDOED LITTLE GUY GETS HIS OWN MEMORIAL IN A PARK

Cole Valley, Haight

Carlie Cole was hopping off the N Judah on her way home from downtown on a sunny, risky day when she noticed something quite different. Her usual route home (after much research in finding the quickest and least hilliest walk) was through Cole Valley’s adorable little park on Carl St. between Clayton and Cole. So as she huddled up the path from the park to the concrete steps leading to Clayton St., a tuxedoed little penguin greeted her. Well he didn’t communicate much because someone painted this creature on the side of the steps as a memorial to a penguin named Arnold. It was nicely painted by Finch. Was Arnold his little pet? Carlie was quite puzzled by this unusual sighting in her hood. She immediately raced up the concrete park steps, rushed down the block to her pad, and watched the flick, HAPPY FEET, wearing her new brown, cozy Uggs!

Well. Let’s start from the beginning. I (Carlie Cole) moved into an Edwardian condo on Frederick Street. Yes, it is a far cry from my old SOMA hood in the heart of things in downtown S.F. But where could I get this FABULOUS view of SUTRO TOWER (a 977 ft. three-pronged antenna tower rising from a hill between Twin Peaks and Mount Sutro)?? ONLY from my bedroom window! Heck, it’s just a very prominent part of the SF skyline and a landmark for residents and visitors of the fabulous city!

Carlie was so stoked about it that she ripped off the blinds from her bay window, threw them in the trash, then celebrated with a tall glass of Anchor Steam beer! “When in SF, do as the locals!” Carlie exclaimed, and skipped down the block towards Haight Street with her brew in hand!
