Powazek’s Cole Valley tale

November 28, 2005 by Scott Rosenberg

Derek Powazek and Heather Powazek Champ now live in the neighborhood I called my home for seven years, San Francisco’s Cole Valley. (I moved to Berkeley right as the area hit the steep part of the trendiness hockey-stick curve.) It’s a little place, sandwiched between UCSF’s hilltop campus and the wilds of Haight Street, with Cole Street’s two-block commercial zone serving as Main Street, and the N-Judah as a lifeline to the rest of the city. Recently, Derek told a heartwarming tale of collective action in the face of inconsiderate auto-owner behavior. It made me nostalgic for my Cole Valley days of mornings munching on cinnamon snails from the long-gone Tassajara Bakery and evenings downing Liberty Ale at the Kezar Pub. (But I don’t miss the perennial fog.)
