    Inner Richmond District The Wild Side: Beertown, Barracks and Buffalo Bill

    South of Geary Street was the Richmond's Wild Side:  there were squatters and robbers’ roosts in an area that became a race track.

Soon rows of Fernando Nelson houses appeared. A decade later, newly paved streets with beautiful Craftsman houses were built. Visit the part of San Francisco where Wyatt Earp once lived and a new hospital offered America's first health maintenance organization.
