Thinkwalks presents an exploration walk:

Hot Air & Cool Water Walk

 

Copious water and hot air gush from openings around here. It’s Civic Center!

Hayes Valley in an early sketch

The original town of Yerba Buena at a small cove was far from here. When it became San Francisco it expanded like crazy. Where the library is now, there was a graveyard beside a marsh. Then it became City Hall. Then the UN Charter was signed here. Then everything!

Highlights: stories of the dome, relearning the underground river, freeway removal, Truth mural, Mona’s mural, Beaux Arts instead of Art Deco, 1906 explosions, book digitizing and dumping, plank road, missing dunes, the Jewish Korean center, Hayes Valley.

By looking around, you’d have no idea all this happened—and is still happening here.
