Twin sisters have singular vision for art, culture | San Francisco Chronicle

[dropcap]Melorra[/dropcap] and Melonie Green have lived together their whole lives — 41 years to be exact. Born one minute apart, the fraternal twins are from Memphis and have brought their Southern charm and vision to the Bay Area. [mc4wp_form id=”6042″]

Every morning they walk side by side to get their coffee, wearing their trademark wide-brim hats, colorful plaid shirts and thick eyeliner.

They’re movers and shakers.
