Walking in the streets of the Mission takes Lauren back to the streets of South America. Up until now, she’s known the Mission through its bars and restaurants; now it’s the buzz on Mission Street that attracts her. She loves listening to the Spanish in the streets.

  1. Art & Film is a fantastic program and Ron Chase deserves far more public credit than he gets. But I would disagree that it’s for “precocious” teenagers exclusively. Teenagers don’t have to be academic superstars or unusually mature and sophisticated to benefit from the various Art & Film activities. Intensive exposure to the arts benefits all kinds of kids.

    1. Caroline, Yes, I agree. Maybe being with Ronald Chase develops precocious teenagers. Best, Lydia
