I had a paper route down there 50 years ago and didn't fall over once,--you people are clum-ZEE!!!

Some years ago, I too was walking briskly down Mangels to BART. I was in a pair of new dress shoes with smooth leather soles. Nice fetishy pointy Italian jobs. They did not mix with the wet sidewalk, and I went sailing into to the air, slamming back to earth making a hard landing on my hands. At least I got a healthy supply of Vocodin, a week off of work, and learned how to mix my now favorite drink called V and V. One half glass of Gray Goose and one Vicodin. I didn't feel badly about having to call in sick that week, or about anything else.

Those darn hills ! It's not a State Highway, for Pete's sake, but stil, there are no signs like on Potrero Hill, ('Trucks Not Advised'). Sheesh. Is it cleared yet?

I gave up platform heels at this intersection... I know it well. (I lived on Mangels and I walked this route to BART 5 days/week. One fateful day, I lost my footing whilst wearing the last pair of platform heels that I will ever own/wear... and I rolled down Mangles to Congo. I managed to pull my skirt down from around my ribs and waist in time to smile at the nice garbage man driving up Congo. This intersection sucks.) But, I loved Sunnyside!
