SAN FRANCISCO (# 1)
Poem (audio)
S ad, sad case of a city fallen from grace
A hella cesspool of drugs and homelessness- local gov gone awryÂ
N eedles stick ya in the park, constant poop on sidewalk - ay!
F isherman’s Wharf and the foodie scene is fantastic though
R ichmond District, by Golden Gate Bridge, is hella nice
A rchitecture’s absolutely fab, from City Hall to Queen Anne housesÂ
N avigate downtown nostalgically on cable trolley
C ool neighborhood hopping in The Mission and The Haight
I nstagram shots galore at Palace of Fine Arts in Marina District
S alivate for original Boudin (or "Boo-deen") sourdoughÂ
C heap Chinatown grubbin' and shoppin' all over the place
O verall, a cultural visit not to miss— but tread oh so carefully!
SAN FRANCISCO’S BLATANT UGLY SIDE
City Update (video): Abrupt clean-up, then back to regressive norm
from America Uncovered
I lived in San Francisco from 1994 to 1996. And I did leave my heart there. I love my memories of the City, with a landmark around every corner and its small town feel. It’s a different place now, and that makes me sad.
I still love San Francisco!
