Re: what to do in San Francisco

[Elliott Swanson <elliott@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Back when I lived in SF (I was born there), Turk Street had a reputation 
for being one of the most rough and tumble areas of the city where almost 
anything is bought and sold. There are probably many sections that match it 
these days.

The point of the whole post is don't neglect the neighborhoods if you 
want to explore the city. If I was going back to revisit the place, I'd 
get a good idea of where all the streetcars still ran (not just BART) and 
get on and off as the spirit moved me.

You can do the Palace of Fine Arts, or the Steinhart Aquarium, or the 
Japanese Tea Garden (great tea garden!) or whatever, but leave a little 
time for discovering something not written up in the guide books.
