You got a really useful blog I have been here reading for about half an hour. I am a newbie and your post is valuable for me.

Yeah, the Ferry Building used to be a big nothing. It was dark down there because of the freeway ramp that hovered over and then dumped out onto Embarcadero. Now, running down that way and stopping into the Ferry Building to enjoy all the food stalls – I’m happy just thinking about it. Love the idea of the walking tour. Make sure you get up to Coit Tower for a spectacular view.

Enjoy. I LOVE SAN FRANCISCO!

Oh cool! I absolutely love that hill. I just discovered it this week and I climbed it yesterday. Turns out my uncle moved into a house a few doors up from that parking lot. I wish I’d known his location earlier – I could’ve visited and gone to your food fight!

Sigh. Was a San Fran-ner from 1986-1998. Sigh.

So, Maggie, have you ever been to the Audium? You might want to put it on your SF list if you’ve never been. Was years before I finally went, but boy oh boy…a UNIQUE experience.

Recently my stepson checked it out and reported back: it’s still awesome, strange, eccentric and a tad worn around the edges, but still very SF and UNIQUE!

Living elsewhere is good (even great!)…but thinking about San Francisco is like thinking about an old relationship from one’s most romantic youth.

Just moved from Boston to Alameda and can’t wait to try these tours out when we have visitors from the East Coast! Thanks, Lady! :)

Kristen, we’re at the Randall Museum all the time actually. The giant food fight was in the park with the spectacular view, and we were engaged on that hill.

Vee, thanks so much for saying so! Hooray for Verizon!

Amy, I remember the quake too. I was living in Sacramento at the time. My cousin was starting a job in downtown SF and felt the tremors before anyone realized what was happening. She ran out into the street yelling, “EARTHQUAKE!” and then stood there for a minute panicking that folks would think she was the nutzo new girl. When the quake really hit, I think she was oddly relieved.

Thanks for sharing! So cool to read this post today after I spent part of yesterday walking in that area and hanging out in the Ferry Building.

Off topic, but do you know the Randall Museum? The hill behind it has a spectacular view of the city, and the children’s museum itself is free.
