I was right!
Do I get extra points for being able to list all the streets in order?
You certainly do. Even I couldn't do that -- Ortega and Ulloa completely evaded me.
I went to the SF Conservatory, which was on Ortega at the time (they've since moved downtown), so the far end of the alphabet is the easy part.
I lived at home, so I'd drive across the bridge, go from 101 to highway 280, get off at Monterey, wind through Glen Park and St. Francis wood, then end up on Vicente. I'd have to back track over to "O" to get to campus.
Either that or I'd take Fell to Irving to 20th and up that way.
The beginning of the alphabet got covered when I'd go to my grand-dad's house on Fulton.
