Not that we have to compare...but it's interesting to think about.

Anyway, fantastic pictures. I really do want to visit this fine city someday, I'm sure I'd fall in love with it.

The comparison with Boston has always seemed strange to me. SF is much different culturally and *feels* and looks a lot bigger and more urban and I'd add it's more lively or colorful to me.

Seattle on the other hand is too suburban (low-density in look and feel) and much less of a city than Boston, imo.

This is a quintessential San Francisco scene. A bay windowed building, a Muni bus with a San Francisco themed ad, a pole plastered with colorful bulletins, and a classic VW bug.

Great pics!!

More or less. The "observation point" is on Twin Peaks which dominates the geographic center of town. To see the Pacific, you have to walk a small distance along the roadway that circles the hill near the top, but it's only a short walk and easy to do.

How I see it:

New York City/Los Angeles
Boston/San Francisco
Philadelphia/Seattle
Washington, DC/Sacramento
Miami/San Diego

The Anti-Saloon League sign is actually the only signage for a modern-day "speakeasy" serving fandancy uber expensive artisanally crafted drinks (think 20 bucks a glass kinda place). They have no phone number, you have to make reservations online, and they give you a password that you have to say into an intercom for them to open the door for you. This is on the intersection of like Crackhead St and Cray Cray Avenue. The cucumber gimlet is *amazing*.

[Ex-Ithacan]

^ Well then it deserves to be tagged up.

[sf_eddo]

As long as I have my gimlet, you can do whatever you want to the sign, Ex Ith.

edluva I wouldn't pay no mind to JiveCitySTL's posts. Have seen several of his post trying to dog SF. He's clearly a hater. He probably lives in East St. Louis anyway.
