Rob Ready

Rob is that guy.

He knows everyone in the city, and everyone knows him. And it seems, everyone likes him. I like him.

When I was putting together the first episode of the Sidewalk Ballet A couple of themes were emerging. I was interviewing Karen Christensen about Third Places, and her forthcoming sequel to Ray Oldneburg’s The Great Good Place. So, as part of the episode I shared my own journey to find my own Third Place in San Francisco. There’s no one better to take as your spirit guide to the neighborhood bars than Rob Ready.
