Growing on me

I like the way the man in line at the Au Coquelet coffeeshop put it.

"Im originally from Detroit, and I left Berkeley in 1992 and came back.

You see, Berkeley is a growing place. By that I mean, here in Berkeley, you dont have to fit in, you have room to be yourself.

Whenever you leave and go back to where you came or to other places, you find that youve grown outside the box, and from there on - you look for places where you dont have to fit inside a box.

So, you come back to Berkeley."

Yeah, its a growing place.

And Im growing in ways I didnt expect.
