From a reader, with “love”, another view of the much talked about development on the corner of 17th & Clayton:

Ahhh shucks…I can’t resist:

Dear Alex,

I took your advice from your recent tour and checked out Cole Valley and went up to Tank Hill and took this photo for you, because I noticed in the pictures on your tour this property in the distance. I hope you like it.

BTW, I LOVE all the information you provide with SF newsletter, Front Steps (.com and .org) and especially the tour. The tour is WAY more fun to do after reading you talk about it, and way more fun to get in the car than using Google or Mapjack. I highly recommend buyers get out and drive their prospective neighborhoods like you suggest. Keep up the good work!

“JJ”

If you keep sending emails like that, with referral included like you did (and photos nonetheless), how can I not “keep up the good work” by publishing your photo?

For the record and all to remember, this site is nothing without you, or the “the” in theFrontSteps. ;-)

Thanks!

p.s. Please send the updated photo when all that copper turns green.
