I want to tell you about The Famous Shortcut...       04/09/06 11:37 PM Edit   Reply   Quote   Quick Reply   "Some Kind of Weekend: It was raining pitchforks, cats and dogs and/or violets Friday (pick one) and there I was at Le Central with no Burberry or bumbershoot. Shortcut time! Take deep breath and - dash up Bush through Sutter-Stockton Garage, fight traffic to Hyatt Union Square, cross into Union Square Garage, fly over Geary, skid into Macy's, scamper down escalator, exit on O'Farrell into O'Farrell-Ellis garage, take elevator down to Ellis, whoosh into Woolworth's (terrible chicken smell), leap headlong down steps into basement, run though Powell-Market BART station to Emporium's new basement (Market on Market, terrific), go up rear escalator to rear exit, cross Jessie into Giannini's Market, scuttle through (holding nose) and arrive at Chronicle reasonably dry.
