SF street names - Help

Hi

Thanks to all the people here who helped me with info on San Francisco for
my holiday last April

I've been making a website of the holiday pics I took and I was wondering if
anyone could help me with some street names on this page

It's been a while now and the memories a bit hazy :-)

Numbering your photos like this:


1 2 3 4

5 6 7 8


1= Lombard Street
3= Hyde Street
4&5= Maybe Franklin?

I think # 2 is Filbert looking west toward Russian Hill with St. Peter
and Paul Church on the right and Washington Square on the left.

#3 may be Jones looking north toward Alcatraz.

#7 is likely one of those very steep streets on Telegraph Hill heading
south toward Broadway at the bottom of the street.

#8 might be Lombard heading up to Coit Tower.

If any of these seem wrong, I'd love to know what seems more accurate.

#8 is Pfeiffer, a minor street in North Beach, there's a street sign
above the 15 "[s]peed limit" sign. Must be looking north towards the
bay.

Note that the silver car in the foreground has its wheels properly toed
in to the curb, to prevent runaway, should the brakes fail. This is
the law in San Francisco, you can be ticketed for not doing it. If
your car is parked facing downhill, you should toe the wheels in the
other direction.

Nice pictures.

Numbering your photos like this:

1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8

1= Lombard Street

Susan correctly said:
2= Filbert Street

3= Hyde Street

No, it isn't. He thinks it's Leavenworth and so do I.

4&5= Maybe Franklin?

4= He's right to think it's Kearny Street.

5= Washington Street at Mason Street.

'scuse the snippage - just trying to keep things legible

Thanks to all the people here who helped me with info on San
Francisco for my holiday last April

If I was one of 'em: You're welcome.

You probably were so thank you again :-)
SF is a place I'd like to see again

Nice pictures.

Thank you

Washington Street - I think you could be right - I assumed the shot was
looking south because it's on a hill looking towards the Transamerica
building - but I've just checked on a MUNI pdf that I found and Washington
Street looks spot on :-)

I've just realised I've been a complete doughnut with No 7 you can actually
see the street in shot 4!!

Hang on a mo.........

If the Green Victorian building is on the corner of Columbus which I seem to
remember and you go up one major road which might be Vallejo St then the
next one is Green St - what say you??

The next street up is Union St which would have Washington park in the
picture on the right hand side

Thanks again to everyone for your help

[Tim] thinks it's Leavenworth and so do I.

I neglected to say that I thought it might've been Jones Street so, at
the sacrifice of great time and expense, I took a lovely drive by the
statue of Willy Mays at China Basin Stadium along the Embarcadero to Bay
Street and looked down Jones, Leavenworth, Hyde, and Polk streets to
determine to a certainty that it is, indeed, Leavenworth (couldn't see
Alcatraz 'cause a ship on its way to The Bridge was in the way) before
going to the other end of Columbus Avenue for an excellent Dungeness
Crab dinner with dancing to the music of Steve Lucky and then crossing
the street down to Jazz at Pearl's where we can be found most Mondays.

If the Green Victorian building is on the corner of Columbus

Looked for, but didn't see, the green building. But, then, I was
driving, there was traffic, and it was dark. She rarely sees what I
point out.

4&5= Maybe Franklin?

4= He's right to think it's Kearny Street. 5= Washington Street at
Mason Street.

Washington Street - I think you could be right - I assumed the shot was
looking south because it's on a hill looking towards the Transamerica
building

The TransAmerica, née Fugazi Bank, Building now houses a well known
spiritual fraud. It's a beauty at the corner of Montgomery Street and
Columbus Avenue. Your reference is to the TransAmerica Pyramid.

- but I've just checked on a MUNI pdf that I found and Washington
Street looks spot on :-)

Washington Street runs close to E/W. That wonderful MUNI PDF is
available at the site at Right in the sig. It shows as a *.GIF upon
which you click to get the PDF per my boilerplate:

The best on-line map of San Francisco is an inter-active PDF:
http://geocities.com/iconoc/Grafix/MuniMap.gif. Click on it to get the
*.PDF. I recommend 200-400% magnification. A creation of the San
Francisco Municipal Railway, it includes all of its routes.

If the Green Victorian building is on the corner of Columbus which I
seem to remember and you go up one major road which might be Vallejo
St then the next one is Green St - what say you??

That's correct.

The next street up is Union St which would have Washington park in
the picture on the right hand side

Also correct. Well, it's Washington Square, not "Park".

Thanks again to everyone for your help

'Swhy most of us're here.
