Tuesday, August 16, 2005 The Tale of Three Pops
In the city, who doesn't love their corner store? For me it's Pops, or as it's officially known, "The Moscone Deli". I seem to stop in there every day or so for something I desire for that evening. When I first moved into this space in SOMA, I wandered out of the back of my building looking for some food. Right around the corner I happened onto the Moscone Deli. I was looking for some bread and cheese, and their selection was rather small by my former suburban supermarket standards, but I found what I wanted and headed to the counter.

I was fresh from freelancing in New York, and as an independent had not suffered the bust. I had several contracts with bigger firms and the work just kept coming.
