  • Haight Street
    Haight Street is an internationally known, legendary destination in San Francisco, California.  Eighteen blocks long, it begins on Gough near Market Street and ends right at the entrance to Golden Gate Park at Stanyan Street.  Haight Street lends its name to the entire district, known either simply as The Haight or The Haight-Ashbury, which is bordered to the north by Oak Street and (most would agree) to the south by 17th Street and the winding Roosevelt. Haight Street itself is divided into two parts, generally referred to as the Lower and Upper Haight. Divisadero Street separates Upper from Lower Haight, but both sections are rife with Victorian buildings owned or rented to both residential and commercial clients.

  • Mission District
    The birthplace of the Bay area was at a now vanished lagoon named after the Lady of Sorrows Dolores in 1776. You can find one of California's newest historical plaques marking this spot less than half a block from the intersection of 16th & Valencia. Today magazines across the country talk about this locale as  the West Coast's "most happening" You will find all manner of bars, cafes,  restaurants and shops catering to one of the most diverse and eclectic communities anywhere.

  • Union Street
    Union Street runs nearly the width of San Francisco, from east to west, extending from its point of origin at the Bay, parallel west between Green and Filbert Streets to its end at the Presidio Reservation, a former Army base currently in the process of being converted to civilian use.  A considerable portion of Union Street, from Van Ness Avenue to The Presidio, is in an area now known as the Cow Hollow section of San Francisco. But that has not always been its name. Originally the area was called Spring Valley, then Golden Gate Valley, according John L. Levinsohn's book, Early Days of a San Francisco Neighborhood from 1776. The neighborhood branch library retains the Golden Gate Valley appellation.  The area our site focuses on, seven blocks between Franklin and Steiner Streets, is a business district with typical San Francisco architecture where you will find examples of both old and modern structures sharing the avenues. The main thoroughfare is a retail destination for visitors and residents alike with the Victorians that line street sharing it with buildings built in the 1960's. Several short alleys branch off into dead ends which makes for an interesting walking and sightseeing experience.
