    “Hand-cut paper map of San Francisco”

    People living in the Outer Sunset, Visticon Valley, Twin Peaks, West Portal, Bayview, Merced Heights, and Park Merced may disagree with that statement.

    Nice work! (but there’s bits missing! From the wharf to 21st St, and from Embarcadero to 26th Ave, is not San Francisco. Where’s Bernal, or Outer Sunset?)

    This woman must have forearms made of vulcanized steel. The former me who used to cut frames and matting with x-acto knives is shuddering in pain.
