Robin has profiled many of the San Francisco’s politicians, artists, and designers, relishing the bohemian reputation and progressive antics of her favorite city. If she had to pick one idyllic spot to spend an afternoon other than in a motorboat on the bay it would be the crowded aisles of City Lights Bookstore.
