(North Of Market Street) |
| Alfredo, I want to see the Financial District, gracious Old Downtown, and The Shopping Areas, will you take me? |
On California Street between Montgomery and Kearny
(Looking East)
See the tower of the Oakland/Bay Bridge in the white haze behind the
building?
Montgomery and Bush
(Looking NorthEast)
That's "Tweezer Towers", a name given because of the building's shape by the celebrated and much-missed columnist the late Herb Caen, our Pulitzer-prize winning observer of San Francisco and the biggest lover of our fair city.

Union Square
Powell and O'Farrel
(Looking NorthEast)
The downtown shopping area. Lots of Neiman-Marcus, Nordstrom,
Macys type stores. See the salmon-colored skyscraper in the
center, way in the background? We're going directly across the street
from it in the next picture.
Sutter Between Kearny and Montgomery

A typical downtown street scene. We're across the street from
the salmon skyscraper, at whose bottom is the Galleria, a cute three-storey
open-air shopping mall topped with a gracious curved glass ceiling.
