You know of my love for "Tales of the City" and its author Armistead Maupin.
SFGate has this lovely story about the real Barbary Lane (actually Macondray Lane, hidden but public if you know where to look.)
The story also features the neighbors who keep up all the hidden lanes of Russian Hill in San Francisco.
