 SAN FRANCISCO You have just landed on my webpage all about my favourite city in the whole of the United states. San Francisco ,the city by the bay. I have loved the city since the days of Steve McQueen `s crazy driving over the hills during the film Bullet . It`s fun to stand on the ledge of a cable car as it Shoots it`s way over the many hills.  On the left are many things to do and see in San Francisco. Ilove wandering up and down the hills. San Francisco is famous for hills. There are more than 50 hills within city limits. Some neighborhoods are named after the hill on which they are situated, including Nob Hill, Pacific heights and Russian hill. Near the geographic center of the city, southwest of the downtown area, are a series of less densely populated hills.
The historic center of San Francisco is the northeast quadrant of the city bordered by Market Square to the south. It is here that the Financial Dist is centered, with Union square.The principal shopping and hotel district, nearby. Cable cars carry riders up steep inclines to the summit of Nob Hill, once the home of the city's business tycoons, and down to Fisherman's Wharf, a tourist area featuring Dungeness crab from a still-active fishing industry. Also in this quadrant are Russian Hill, a residential neighborhood with the famously crooked Lombard Street, North Beach, the city's Little Italy, and Telegraph Hill, which features Coit Tower. Nearby is San Francisco's Chinatown, established in the 1840s  Coit Tower This 210ft-tall art deco tower atop Telegraph Hill is a tribute to the city’s volunteer firefighters, paid for by local heiress and eccentric “Firebelle Lil” Coit. Inside, the tower has murals by 26 artists and gives wonderful views over San Francisco, the bay, Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge. | |
