KFI: San Francisco has a lot to offer the millions of tourist who visit the city every year. Destinations like Pier 39, Alcatraz, and the famous cable cars make for incredible shots and amazing memories for families looking to travel.
Only, these days, San Francisco’s dark underbelly, never far from the surface, has become harder and harder to ignore amid the picturesque scene of a city. Human feces, homeless camps, needles litter the streets beyond the formerly ‘rough’ parts of town, like the Tenderloin District. more here
Leave things as they are so Americans will learn what the democrat party is trying to turn America into.
San Francisco has a lot to offer….
like an old prison Alcatraz ?
San Francisco has a lot to offer.
Just be careful not to bend over or back up. Oh, and watch where you step.
Where’s Karl Malden when you need him?
Or Steve McQueen in Bullitt.
UGH! We’re going to San FranShittio for an Alaskan cruise soon. We know the drill already. We don’t eat in the city, we drive and park it. When we leave, we drive out of the city as fast as we can. We do not spend any money there. Fortunately, the areas we are in is loaded with cops due to the traffic going in and out of the cruise port. They ,make sure no one going on or off the ship sees any turds in the street. But I agree, leave the shit hole the way it is. Let it get even worse. When the tourist quit coming, the liberals will only blame themselves. Tons of revenue comes in for the City through tourism. Break their dinner plate!
Are they figuring out that allowing the city’s streets to be used as an open sewer isn’t conducive to attracting tourists?
Additionally, most normal families aren’t too crazy about exposing their children to viewing acts of sodomy conducted openly on the busy sidewalks.
@Goldenfoxx the progs NEVER blame themselves. EVER.
Noting this thread I have suggested another one to “Mr. Big” himself and hope that he may grace us with it later.
Perhaps add the link if it does not appear…,
But don’t call me “Bob!”
The aroma must be disgusting “on a warm San Francisco night”.
It USED to be a place to visit. The vagrants and druggies ruined it. Thanks to liberalism.
was there on business two years ago….right in the heart of Downtown…a quick walk to grab dinner nearly scared the crap out of me…so many aggressive bums and even more aggressive drug users begging for money, shit all over the street and the stench is horrendous….will not go back for anything but business again.
Instead of touting San Francisco as a historic beautiful California city, just start promoting the town as another Wild Animal Park. Only without rangers and the animals can’t be tamed.
BFH – Next time use the trolly from Mr Roger’s Neighborhood with “Queen” Pelosi in the background and Mr Hanky 💩 going for a ride on the trolley.
Went to San Fran, Fisherman’s Wharf and China Town in 78′. Glad I saw it then. Wouldn’t go there now for any reason.
Hands down the best meal I have ever eaten

I was in town and knew a guy who worked at the Mark Hopkins, he suggested Tiramisu and it was fantastic. I used to eat there a lot when in SF.
Absolutely great sandwiches. I would put the sandwich from Luca Deli up against anything anywhere.

I spent a lot of time in San Francisco from the mid 1980’s -> ~ 2006
My brother and niece both went to school there and I loved visiting. Haven’t been since ~ 2006 though.
San Francisco = an American shit hole.
Maybe you need to stop at a Starbucks for safety.
I left my turds in San Francisco
Piled on the curb, it smelled real bad,
To be where illegal aliens shoot citizens with guns
The morning dimp may foul the air, I don’t care…
It is criminal what the pols have done to beautiful, unique San Francisco.
Cute story: Like a lot of people, I have my bucket list. One of those items in my bucket was to dance to a big band in the ballroom of the St. Francis Hotel in SF. I think I’d mentioned it to Geoff C. a few times over the course of years. Then one spring not that many years ago he said, “Let’s take some time off and go to SF to visit our friends.”
(Ladies, get out your hankies.) We dropped #1 offspring off at the folks in Portland and proceeded to SF. I didn’t know where we were staying until we drove straight into town (instead of heading for our friends’ house) and pulled into the valet parking at the St. Francis! Once we got settled in, we took a walk to the park across the street and Geoff C. was terribly disappointed to tell me that the St. Francis no longer had big band dancing at the hotel. Then he told me that for the prior three months he had been leaving his construction job sites (he’s a GC) a couple times a week in order to take private ballroom dance lessons so that he could take me ballroom dancing. I cried, he cried because I cried. When I think of what a huge sacrifice it was for him to take time out of his very busy days to force his two left feet into a box step, I am charmed all over again.
We did find a place to dance at the Top of The Mark (Hopkins) Hotel, where he struggled to dance without my taking the lead.
So, this is the SF I want to remember. A whole week at the St. Francis with champagne and dancing at the Mark Hopkins. Oh, and Chinatown, the warf, Coit Tower, the cable cars, and everything else in what used to be a wonderful city. No one will understand Tony Bennett’s song anymore, I’m afraid. So sad. Glad for my memories.
(I love you, Geoff C.)
^ A very respectful TU.
Geoff C.,
You are a true husband!
Abigail, that’s beautiful! Geoff C., well done. <3
Okay, we’re on page two now and perhaps not to be seen, but how about a repeat of history…
1906 April 18th…
At 5:13 a.m., an earthquake estimated at close to 8.0 on the Richter scale strikes San Francisco, California, killing hundreds of people as it topples numerous buildings. The quake was caused by a slip of the San Andreas Fault over a segment about 275 miles long, and shock waves could be felt from southern Oregon down to Los Angeles.
San Francisco’s brick buildings and wooden Victorian structures were especially devastated. Fires immediately broke out and–because broken water mains prevented firefighters from stopping them–firestorms soon developed citywide. At 7 a.m., U.S. Army troops from Fort Mason reported to the Hall of Justice, and San Francisco Mayor E.E. Schmitz called for the enforcement of a dusk-to-dawn curfew and authorized soldiers to shoot-to-kill anyone found looting. Meanwhile, in the face of significant aftershocks, firefighters and U.S. troops fought desperately to control the ongoing fire, often dynamiting whole city blocks to create firewalls. On April 20, 20,000 refugees trapped by the massive fire were evacuated from the foot of Van Ness Avenue onto the USS Chicago.
By April 23, most fires were extinguished, and authorities commenced the task of rebuilding the devastated metropolis. It was estimated that some 3,000 people died as a result of the Great San Francisco Earthquake and the devastating fires it inflicted upon the city. Almost 30,000 buildings were destroyed, including most of the city’s homes and nearly all the central business district.
