Levi's Plaza: A San Francisco Landmark…read more Levi's Plaza is located in San Francisco's waterfront area and serves as the global headquarters of Levi Strauss & Co. It was developed in the early 1980s as part of a revitalization project to transform the then-underutilized industrial area into a corporate campus. Gensler, a global design and architecture firm, designed Levi's Plaza. It has modern office spaces with beautiful landscaped areas. The development includes preserving historic buildings and combining elements of San Francisco's unique architectural character, making it a notable landmark in the city. I am fortunate enough to walk through or by the area, every day on my way to work or back. The site has pedestrian-friendly pathways, outdoor seating areas, and easy access to the Embarcadero, making it both a corporate headquarters and a public space. Before the pandemic (March 2020), a few coffee shops and restaurants in the Plaza and around it served visitors, but most were closed over the last four years. However, there has been a slow comeback in recent months. If you are visiting and walking by, you should detour and walk through the Plaza. It is a beautiful site.

Color me confused as I came over to the Presidio thinking this was going to be a part of the Tunnel…read moreTops Park I kept seeing under construction as I walked by on the Golden Gate Promenade. However, this park turned out to be a separate six-acre space further up on Lincoln Blvd from Tunnel Tops Park. Just opened in April, it's been designed and built around four gun batteries which have been cleaned up and fenced off from public access. Hopefully that will be enough to ward off the graffiti hooligans who have marked up every other historic battery on the coast. The landscaping is still in progress, but the layout is quite striking. What you basically experience now is a spanking new, curvy multi-use pathway well worth traversing to get to the panoramic vista points. There's plenty of seating along the way, and the path winds under the freeway where you can easily get to Crissy Field. RELATED - Exploring the Presidio? Here's a collection of places I've visited and reviewed: https://bit.ly/3ALAAfr

What a great addition to the Presidio…read more It opened to the public April 23, 2022. We rode over on our ebikes to check it out. What used to be part of Fort Scott in the Presidio, it's now renovated and opened and part of the Presidio Promenade. There are four restored batteries that used to house military guns protecting San Francisco Bay waters. There's an overlook of the Bay and the Golden Gate Bridge. There isn't much public parking. Just a few parking spaces. The National Cemetery is directly across the street. You can park at the Transit Center or the main parade grounds and walk over. Maybe 10 minutes on foot. There are picnic tables and benches. No restrooms. You can't walk into the batteries. They're fenced off. But it's part of history. Landscaping work still in progress.

Review #262 - 2019…read more You ever had one of those days where you're already out and about so you decide to just hit as many spots in the vicinity as you possibly can? Well, that's exactly what I decided to do on Monday, September 23rd. We actually stopped by here first at around 11:15 AM, while there was some fog still rolling in to give me that picture perfect background with a little bit of the GG Bridge still slightly visible. Sadly, I was only able to get two or three pictures of my daughter with that perfect backdrop and the fog completely covered up the bridge about five minutes later, while I was trying to set up my tripod, so the bridge was nowhere in sight. Since that was the case, we decided to drive down to Baker Beach to let my daughter play in the sand for about an hour before driving back up to hopefully try and get some decent photos. Sadly, the sun was too bright by 1 PM so that picture perfect fog rolling in time frame had already passed for the day so we'll have to try again next time. I did happen to get one ok looking picture of me with the bridge in the background so I guess it wasn't a complete waste of effort.

Who is Harry Bridges? And why would the City of San Francisco named a small parcel of space in…read morebetween the two lanes of The Embarcadero way leading to the front of the Ferry Building after this person? Turns out Harry Bridges was "an Australian-born American labour leader, president of the San Francisco-based International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union (ILWU) from 1937 to 1977. He was a key figure in the 1934 West Coast waterfront strike." -Wikipedia This naming was to celebrate what would have been Mr. Bridges' 100th birthday on July 28, 2001. His accomplishments, amongst others, was his advocacy for supporting civil rights, "specifically working to integrate Black workers into the waterfront unions."-sfgate. Today, you have probably been here if you have walk to or from Market Street to Ferry Building. Board or exited the F train nearby. There are lots of arts and crafts vendors located here as well as skateboarders, performance artists, (sometimes) activists, tourists, as well as locals going about their business. Located in front of the Ferry Building.

This sculpture does breathe not static one hour a day & lights up at night as well! We arrived here too early bc vendors were just setting up but wife wanted a picture of that artsy gigantic figure on a Saturday morning in November. It's an open area we have visited many times before between Ferry building & Market street bc we have stayed at the Hyatt Regency hotel several times before. Parking is only street parking or take BART or uber or Waymo. You can probably find parking garages too but that can be pricy! We would not come out of our way but if close by why not? If you need washroom go to the Ferry Building! Harry Bridges history is quite extensive! Read up on it! You may learn something interesting. Take a look away from your constant view of your phones you might just want to ENJOY the view! Seriously.
