Dining with Anna and Friends
Dining with Anna and Friends This list of restaurants, bars, delis, and food stores are related in one way or another to The Tales of the City (books and/or films) as well as to The Night Listener. They are grouped by neighborhoods or areas in San Francisco. Some have already been included in existing walking tours. More will be included in future tours. Many establishments – particularly bars and clubs – featured in Armistead Maupin’s books have since closed. The buildings were either vacant or have been converted into other types of businesses altogether (for example, one has been turned into a service for individuals who are homeless) at the time this list was created. For these reasons, those establishments have not been included in this list. As with the rest of the content of the Tours of the Tales website, this list will be periodically updated. If you have updates, please forward them to me. I appreciate your help. NOTE: Please do not consider this list an exhaustive list of eating/drinking establishments in San Francisco. For example, although there are several restaurants listed in “North Beach” below, there are many more excellent places in North Beach in addition to those listed. Also, do not consider this list an endorsement of any place included in the list. The Google map for this list of eating establishments: Dining with Anna and Friends. Aquatic Park/Fisherman’s Wharf/and the Embarcadero The Buena Vista Bar, 2765 Hyde Street (southwest corner of Hyde and Beach; across the street from the Powell-Hyde cable car turntable): Mary Ann Singleton was twenty-five years old when she saw San Francisco for the first time. -
The Queer" Third Species": Tragicomedy in Contemporary
The Queer “Third Species”: Tragicomedy in Contemporary LGBTQ American Literature and Television A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department English and Comparative Literature of the College of Arts and Sciences by Lindsey Kurz, B.A., M.A. March 2018 Committee Chair: Dr. Beth Ash Committee Members: Dr. Lisa Hogeland, Dr. Deborah Meem Abstract This dissertation focuses on the recent popularity of the tragicomedy as a genre for representing queer lives in late-twentieth and twenty-first century America. I argue that the tragicomedy allows for a nuanced portrayal of queer identity because it recognizes the systemic and personal “tragedies” faced by LGBTQ people (discrimination, inadequate legal protection, familial exile, the AIDS epidemic, et cetera), but also acknowledges that even in struggle, in real life and in art, there is humor and comedy. I contend that the contemporary tragicomedy works to depart from the dominant late-nineteenth and twentieth-century trope of queer people as either tragic figures (sick, suicidal, self-loathing) or comedic relief characters by showing complex characters that experience both tragedy and comedy and are themselves both serious and humorous. Building off Verna A. Foster’s 2004 book The Name and Nature of Tragicomedy, I argue that contemporary examples of the tragicomedy share generic characteristics with tragicomedies from previous eras (most notably the Renaissance and modern period), but have also evolved in important ways to work for queer authors. The contemporary tragicomedy, as used by queer authors, mixes comedy and tragedy throughout the text but ultimately ends in “comedy” (meaning the characters survive the tragedies in the text and are optimistic for the future). -

From Future Homemaker of America to the Lesbian Continuum: the Queering
FROM FUTURE HOMEMAKER OF AMERICA TO THE LESBIAN CONTINUUM: THE QUEERING OF MARY ANN SINGLETON IN ARMISTEAD MAUPIN'S TALES By Sara Katherine White ____________________________________ Matthew W.

Scott Elwell Assistant Professor of English Dean of Arts and Sciences (Committee Member) A. Jerald Ainsworth, Ph.D. Dean of the Graduate School FROM FUTURE HOMEMAKER OF AMERICA TO THE LESBIAN CONTINUUM: THE QUEERING OF MARY ANN SINGLETON IN ARMISTEAD MAUPIN'S TALES By Sara Katherine White A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of the Degree of Master's in English The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Chattanooga, Tennessee December 2012 ii Copyright © 2012 By Sara Katherine White All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City series is a turning point in homosexual literature in twentieth century America. This paper mainly examines the character of Mary Ann Singleton and the “queering” of her character. The writings of Michel Foucault, Judith Butler, Adrienne Rich, Eve K. Sedgwick, and Simone de Beauvoir are vital in understanding how a straight woman journeys onto the lesbian continuum as a revolt against gender roles (defined by Butler and Beauvoir) and as a result of her friendship with Michael Tolliver. Michael's character provides a discourse (as defined by Foucault) on homosexuality and through this discourse, he provides a contrast to the dysfunctions of compulsory heterosexuality in Mary Ann's journey. -

In the Beginning… Aquatic Park and Russian Hill
Tour #1: In the Beginning… Aquatic Park and Russian Hill The tour starts at the corner of Hyde and Beach streets at the western edge of Fisherman’s Wharf. If taking the cable car, hop on to the Powell-Hyde cable car. When picking up the cable car at the corner of Powell and Market, generally every other cable car is the Powell-Hyde car. If possible, either sit or stand at the very front and on the right side of the car next to the front window. This position offers you the best vantage point to see some of the finest vistas from that cable car line. The cable car line ends at Tour #1’s starting point: the corner of Hyde and Beach. NOTE: This is one of the longer tours. If time only permits you to take one Tales tour, make this the tour. Tour #1 features many of the locales in the books as well as many of scenes in the first mini-series… …not to mention you’ll see both Barbary Lanes. Most of the walking on this tour will be on fairly level or downhill. Although you will be climbing Russian Hill using the Powell-Hyde cable car, there are short stretches (two blocks or less) of uphill walking. Minimum Time: 1 ½ Hours Link to Google Map for this tour: Tour #1: In the Beginning… (Aquatic Park and Russian Hill) To start: After the cable car stops, walk across Beach or Hyde to the… The Buena Vista Bar, 2765 Hyde Street (southwest corner of Hyde and Beach; across the street from the Powell-Hyde cable car turntable) Mary Ann Singleton was twenty-five years old when she saw San Francisco for the first time. -

The Drink Tank Over the Years, I’Ve Tried to Do This Issue, and the Best I’Ve Managed Is an Article That I Shuffled in with the Deck of Another Issue
The Drink Tank Over the years, I’ve tried to do this issue, and the best I’ve managed is an article that I shuffled in with the deck of another issue. I love, whole-heartedly, Tales of the City, in all its forms. I’m happy to say that this issue features a love letter not only to the books and television series, but also to the City it gives so much honest, brutally honest, love to. I also want to say I love Armistead Maupin, and I found his mailing address and this issue is being sent him way... even though he’ll probably never read it! Other news! I”m working at a group that is attempting to bring attention to the writing of William Saroyan. It’s a fun job! I get to write! I get to use spreadsheets! I get to hang out with documents and books!!! Is good! I’m also excited to say that now as we’re on that final hump that tosses one last time into the air before the roller coaster car dives into the station, we’re doing OK. Life has been weird, and looking back at what we managed to put out last year, I’m pleased we got so much done! We’re taking things a little slower for the rest of the year, with the next issue being dedicated to Dark Shadows. The deadline there is September 1st. After that, for the middle of October, is the issue I’ve wanted to do for so long - LEGO!!!!! Also, I just read that Ed Meskys died. -
PBS's 1994 Airing of Tales of the City
Tales of the City: A Saga of Politics and Programming at PBS 0 Tales of the City: A Saga of Politics vs. Programming at PBS Marsha Ann Tate, Ph.D. Last updated 2018 January 13 (grammar, spelling, and spacing corrections) The initial version of this paper was prepared in April 2000 for the Communications 497D: Public Broadcasting course at the Pennsylvania State University. Tales of the City: A Saga of Politics and Programming at PBS 1 Abstract Tales of the City, a 1994 miniseries based upon Armistead Maupin's fictional portrayal of life in 1970s San Francisco was one of the most popular, yet controversial, programs aired on the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) during the 1990s. Tales frank depiction of homosexual and heterosexual liaisons, drug use, and graphic language made it an ideological lightning rod for various conservative groups within the United States. However, conservative opposition was countered with equally passionate support from other groups who applauded the series for its nonjudgmental treatment of homosexual and other nontraditional lifestyles. This paper examines the social and political milieu of the United States during the period the miniseries aired, the broadcast history of the miniseries, and the various repercussions for PBS caused by its association with the production. Using the Tales of the City controversy as a basis for discussion, the final section of the paper explores broader questions namely, what types of PBS programming should be subsidized by taxpayer dollars and, additionally, what role—if any—Congress and other federal and state government entities should play in PBS programming decisions.
