San Francisco is a hub of excitement, and the cultural, commercial and financial heart of Northern California. The Twin Peaks in San Francisco are a world famous tourist attraction and offer spectacular views of the Bay Area. The city is the 13th most populated in the . but has the second highest population density in the county, with only New York being busier. The city shot to fame in 1849 as the home of the Californian Gold Rush which at the time made it the largest city on the West Coast. The Peaks were initially called Los Pechos de la Choca meaning Breasts of the Maiden. The two peaks are adjacent to each other and stand at 922 feet.

San Francisco: The only city in the nation to make a hero of its transport. The cable cars are now a National Monument. San Francisco: Where residents of Chinese origin live in the most densely populated twenty-six square blocks in America. In the heart of its teeming streets Lillie Lum was born and lived to become one of San Franciscos outstanding fashion designers.

San Francisco: At Fishermans Wharf, where steaming curbside crab pots vie for sidewalk space with fishermen mending nets and souvenir hawkers.

San Francisco: Where streetcorner flower vendors display dazzling mounds of flowers year round.

San Francisco: Where sourdough loaves of bread are an attraction for gourmets from all over the world.

And where you will find the most famous tourist attraction in the world The Golden Gate Bridge.

  • Tro Harper loves San Francisco. This book reflects a few of the many reasons for his affection and will recall to others who share it, and interest those who have not been there, some of the well-known features of the city and many not so familiar. The author was a book-seller on Powell Street for many years and could watch - and hear - from the open door of his shop the unique-to-San Fracisco cable cars as they rattled back and forth. A chapter in the book deals with this feature, beloved by visitors. Other icons of the city - sourdogh bread, cracked crab, the zoo, Fisherman's Wharf, eccentric characters, a bit of history are covered in brief - sometimes one page - vignettes.
    The book is the kind that you can pick up and browse through or setttle down with for an hour or two. It will amuse, entertain, surprise and instruct other "resident" tourists who think they know San Francisco and will certainly stimulate genuine tourists to visit.
