    Walk the streets where railroad barons, silver kings, and other wealthy San Franciscans built lavish mansions.  Hear stories of the success and scandals of the high society men and women who lived on Nob Hill, the place that locals call Snob Hill. Experience the splendor of a world famous hotel where Tony Bennett first sang "I left my Heart in San Francisco".

    HERstory: Women Muralists of the Mission (No Tour Today)

    Murals began appearing in the Mission District in the early 1970s.  It was exclusively men’s work, mainly done by Latinos drawing upon a long tradition of Mexican “muralismo.”  A few women, all Latinas, defying criticism, the occasional catcall, and even their own social mores, courageously said, they too, could climb a scaffold and paint.  And they did, exquisitely and uniquely with a distinctive palette.  Many of the pioneers still paint, while nurturing a new generation of women muralists.  Come walk with us to hear the sensational story of the women muralists of the Mission and see their dazzling work.  You will be awestruck.

Some packed their bags and set off for California. These French left their mark on the culture of the booming city. The French influenced society, especially in food and fashion. Without them, it's hard to imagine San Francisco becoming our sophisticated, cosmopolitan metropolis.

    Cityscapes And Public Places

    The 1985 Downtown Plan was one of the most important piece of red tape in San Francisco history.

Oh — and you have to devote a portion of your project to a publicly accessible open space. Thus, Privately-Owned Public Open Spaces (POPOS) were born.
