The House of Caen

Nostalgia Friday: An early spring shout-out to San Franciscans who remember mornings waking to the three-dot musings of late Chronicle columnist Herb Caen. Here is a short video of 1631 26th Street, the house that Caen called home as a kid in Sacramento. Listen for the crows at the end.

Caen wrote about returning to this corner in a 1983 Christmas column for the Sacramento Bee: As I near 26th and Q - No. 1631 26th St. was the scene of my childhood haunts and traumas - my pulse quickens. I can hardly wait to park and walk slowly around the neighborhood that has changed so little in 60 years. The memories return with such a rush that even my family's phone numbers pop back into my mind.
