: : : : What does it mean when someone says
: : : : "I miss the Castro"?

: : : If ever there was a case for context! Castro as a noun. Hmmm. Well, there's the Castro convertible (that is, a sofa-bed). And there's...well, what else is there? Something, no doubt. SS

: : It's also a trendy neighbourhood in San Francisco.

: Surely not Fidel!!!!!!!

It probably means the Castro Street district of San Francisco, often called "the Castro." I posted at the ezboard site where the discussion started and told them that.
