MIMI
AND ETIENNE liked to go to the movies. He immersed himself in them analyzed
them, delivery of lines, lights, plot, how actors, actresses moved. Mimi
listened delighted. You have Ava Gardner’s shoulders he murmured. His voice distilled
lust.
The
Fox theater on Market Street splendid, elegant with an organ that was renowned
around the world was their favorite. They went there most Friday nights with
Lorena and Teddy in their brand new Nash Rambler which they lovingly washed and
waxed every Saturday morning.
Most
Sunday afternoons Etienne picked her up at Rosita’s and drove her to Mercedes
Street. They would let themselves in—the front door was never locked—to find
the Porters settled in their living room reading side by side, or watching a
variety show on their black and white television console. She idolizes Bing
Crosby, Mr. Porter would wink at the
young couple.

San Francisco elegance of days gone by. I'm so glad I was there. Thanks for the images.
And Market St was clean & parking always available. Oh Happy Days......
Oh! the organ's sound wa heavenly.
You brought up parking,then, in San Francisco. It was NO PROBLEM. Those were the days of easy living.
I did copy the Rambler 4 my collection. Very thanful.
The car, Nash Rambler, has been admired by many.
I too love Bing Crosby. Still play his records.
