Wow, the pyramid shape gives it the illusion that its raising forever in the sky from that angle.

StevenW · October 15th, 2005, 07:36 PM

does anyone have any recent pix from the Tenderloin, Union Square or from the south of Yurba Buena?

because its in the projects.

its kinda off the tourist path

612bv3 · October 20th, 2005, 07:25 AM

I don't think it's in the projects, it's not in the Tenderloin or Hunter's Point. It's just not as beautiful as Lombard. Lombard is very picturesque, which is what the tourist like.

@heavyzakura334: Great pictures.

probably because it's not near all the other tourist attraction and all like Lombard is. That would be my guess.

makes perfect sense, its just that i lived about 3 blocks away from the crooked part (lived on lombard & van ness) so i guess that is why i would think it was more crooked i guess, i dont know

Here are some of my older pics after being given a Photoshop treatment.

sorry i got it confused with another street on protrero hill which is right next to the projects there. Still, it's not the most desirable part of the city to advertise to tourists. Its on potrero hill and next to the mission which are working class, with more crime and whatnot than the toursit areas of SF.

StevenW · October 25th, 2005, 01:22 AM

Those are AWESOME pictures!

How many Skyscrapers (over 10 Floors) does San Francisco has? Just curious...

as quoted from sfcityscape.com:

"16 buildings taller than 500 feet in the city, at least 90 taller than 90 meters, or 295 feet (the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat's definition of a "skyscraper") — the third-highest total in North America — and nearly 270 structures taller than 12 stories, although no one's quite sure how many there really are"

Whiked918 · December 11th, 2005, 07:49 AM

great pics

Whiked918 · December 11th, 2005, 07:57 AM

That is one hell of a walk between the two bridges let me tell ya.

Whose Homepage · December 11th, 2005, 08:51 AM

Ah, Whiked!

In the last pic you captured, knowingly or not, the spot where Kim Novak thrust herself into the Bay, to be rescued by none other than James Stewart in Hitchcock's Vertigo.

If you haven't seen the movie, go & rent it ... it shows what SF looked like decades ago.

Yes, Whiked ... it's quite a hike between the two Bridges, but what a beautiful one!

@firulais: yes, of course I've heard of Modesto & have been there for a conference, and I'm sure many other WC forumers (at least the CA ones) have heard of it as well. You guys are the fruit and veggie basket for us and the nation, and we appreciate it!

It would be lovely if you could show us some pix of Modesto.

Who hasn't heard of Modesto after what happened to Laci Peterson.

I'm glad you liked your visit.
