Pet Central

Even though it's expensive, sometimes inconvenient, and people may stand across from your church chanting unfair things during Sunday services, San Francisco and the Bay Area is still a pretty great place to live. I was going to make a giant post on cool things I've seen or done in the past several months, but one at a time seems more manageable. Here we go:

Pet Central (on Broadway near Stockton): I wandered in to this Chinatown pet store one day when I was running errands nearby. It's awesome! The animals seem well cared for and it's bright and clean. Looking at the fish downstairs is almost as good as visiting an aquarium--salt water, fresh water, more kinds of goldfish than you knew existed, giant $200 fish, etc. I've never seen cats there, but they usually have puppies--I almost had a cuteness-induced fit when I saw a baby weiner dog and baby Boston terrier there on one trip. They have reptiles, birds, hamsters, chinchillas, and all the supplies you might need. Plus they seem to have a large collection of Chinese movies for rent up front (pets + movie rentals...naturally!). Please, someone go there and purchase pets or pet stuff so I don't feel guilty for never buying anything from them.
