Rebecca Blondin is a fiction writer, grant writer, and scriptwriter raising two children with her husband in San Francisco. She received a MAT from the University of San Francisco and a BA from Northwestern University in Chicago. "Walgreens on California” is Rebecca’s first published work of fiction. Everyone has a third place: ‘home,' ‘place of work/study,' and a ‘third place’ they often find themselves frequenting. Mine is Walgreens, and as you can see, I have a complicated relationship with it.
