And on a side note...

San Fran not only admits the existence of pregnant women, but actually provides them with multiple attractive clothing options. This is quite a difference from Colorado, where in the Boulder/Longmont area I can choose from:

• two consignment stores that carry other people's cast-off maternity clothes;
  
• 2 maternity racks at Target;
  
• 2 maternity racks at JC Penney;
  
• one nice but often overpriced new clothing/ nursing store for expectant mothers. At least they have good sale racks, but regular prices are circa $60 for pants and $30+ for t-shirts, which is a bit much for my taste given that I'll be able to wear them at most a few months.
  

For an urban area approaching 100,000 in population, you'd think we could do a little better. I have to drive to Broomfield to go to chain stores like the Gap, Old Navy, Motherhood Maternity, and so forth. Even the big department stores like Macy's and Dillard's don't have maternity sections in Boulder. So it's been a pleasure to be here in SF and have perhaps 10 shopping options within a square mile of the hotel, even though I've done far more looking than purchasing.

Most of the time I think I live in one of the more wonderful places in the world. So hop to it, one of you local readers who's into fashion or has a great business plan, and meet the needs of the Boulder-area moms. We have nothing to lose but our sweatpants! (And any readers with good online mama-clothing resources, bring 'em on in the comments field, please.)
