Inspiration for the Netflix Limited Series, Tales of the City
A PBS Great American Read Top 100 Pick
The first novel in the beloved Tales of the City series, Armistead Maupin's best-selling San Francisco saga.
For almost four decades Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City has blazed its own trail through popular culture - from a groundbreaking newspaper serial to a classic novel, to a television event that entranced millions around the world. The first of nine novels about the denizens of the mythic apartment house at 28 Barbary Lane, Tales is both a sparkling comedy of manners and an indelible portrait of an era that changed forever the way we live.

What I didn't like was the quick movement from one plot to the next. Not sure if this is because it was originally done as a newspaper story or if it is the way it was edited for Audible. I find that I am often going back just to make sure I that I did not miss something by not paying attention.
I am still enjoying the story.

Any additional comments?
I have read the entire series as books multiple times. These are pretty much the only books I've read more than once. I feel like I know the characters, and I just love the stories. It's a vignette of gentle stories about the lives of a set of interesting characters, and how those lives intersect, even in a large city like San Francisco. Now, when doing yard work, I love listening to them as audio books. If you want something that's fun, interesting, and quirky....this is the book (this is the series) for you. I can't say enough good about my friends at Barbary Lane.A Special Place, A Special Time, Great Stories
