Show number two in the “Streets of San Francisco” series, still walking westwards, one street at a time. Today’s show moves from Powell street to Polk, with a couple of historical detours along the way. If you missed the first one, have a listen here.
For further edification:
» Buena Vista irish coffee
» San Francisco historical landmarks
» the Tenderloin
» D.O.A. – film noir 1949
» Streets of San Francisco

“Just Like Heaven” was a cute movie. It’s worth seeing for the amazing, current San Francisco scenes. The movie-makers did a relatively realistic representation of driving/walking around the city. No amazing leaps from Marin County to the Sunset in 30 seconds. :)

hello hello
possibly someone has pointed you towards this already, but a digitized version of “Sixty Years in California” by William Heath Davis is now available online.

I actually have already found a gorgeous copy of the book — actually the revised version which covers 75 years — and just ran across the digitized version a couple of weeks ago. It certainly is easier to search!
Thanks for posting the link.
