Click Photos To Enlarge. It was a cold, dreary and foggy day out in the sunset/parkside neighborhood in San Francisco, where I live. A new coffee house business right across the street from me has been preparing for weeks for their Grand Opening which took place today. The excitement of the lion dancers and firecrackers right along with the complimentary wine being served made this dreary day come alive. The lion dance was performed by the San Francisco Police Department Lion Dance Team. The video at the end of this post is a little long but very exciting to watch with a firecracker finale that had yours truly calling it a day. Enjoy!
