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.
