Dermatology appointment today. Breakfast with Patrick at Lori's Diner. Today is the reopening of the remodeled Union Square. The square sits in downtown San Francisco. It's a park and courtyard space with a Corinthian column in the center. It takes up an entire city block, and it's surrounded by major department stores and smaller boutique shops. The redesigned square provides greater comfort to San Francisco's homeless: new lawns, new giant palm trees, new park benches, new marble and granite flooring and steps. It didn't look a whole lot different than the old one except for some ticket booth offices. We got bored within a few minutes and left after taking two photos. Made a few corrections to Update for the Dean. Lunch by myself at Nan King Road Bistro: double happiness. Bought MUNI passes at Bear Snacks.
