Obit-lette: 2-Clement

Photo by Thomas Hawk

Friends, riders, countrymen, lend me your eyes; I come to bury the 2 Clement’s stops beyond Park Presidio/14th Ave., not to praise them.

Having only been an Outer Richmond resident for 18 months or so, I never really had occasion to ride the 2. The few times I did, I found it slower and less frequent than its parallel neighbors, the 1 California and 38 Geary.

I suppose it was useful that one time I was in Laurel Heights and missed the 1, but not being a tiny Asian grandmother on my way to or from New May Wah, the extra block I’ll now possibly need to walk won’t have me wailing over any caskets or derelict bus shelters.

But won’t someone please think of the children? Well, the Washington kids now have a 38 parked outside. They’ll be fine.

And so I say farewell to the 2 Clement’s westernmost appendage. Gone, and somewhat forgotten.
