The city, as they say, is full of stories. In this case, in this city, it's a lot of children's stories. Or, at least, stories about how San Francisco encourages people to avoid growing up — to act as the younguns do. The possible reasons for this are many — economics, culture, an epidemic of parental indulgence — but whatever the case, they manifest in strange and wonderful ways. In the stories in this issue, we look at the fashion of fantasy, the business of egg-freezing, high-tech crafting, preserving the forbidden art of dodgeball, and the science of nostalgia. And, wherever we could, we included colorful pictures (and pictures you can color) and wrote for an appropriate reading level. Unlike most children's stories, though, these don't have an easy moral. That's for you to figure out.
