This was extremely interesting. A city I have generally enjoyed doing business in prior to "panhandlers by the yard." Two years ago a dear friend with terminal cancer and I traveled out for a few days. It was his favorite city and I wanted him to take a break from his problems. Now he is gone those were wonderful memories for me. Last year when out there one of my Asian friends guided me through China town to the best food I ever had in SF. Great place with few exceptions but you do need to explore it. Good art museums! Thanks again. John

Plan on going out next year to see my niece and her husband. While out there will be hooking up with Che.
For the real tour.

Wow! Thank you for the posting. Very entertaining to watch life in the City 58 years ago and see how much has and has not changed. The lack of congested traffic is one thing that stuck out to me. How wonderful that would be drive through the S.F. area and not have to deal with that.

I throughly enjoyed the 1955 film, considering that was the year I was born. That was great! Thank you for posting!
