San Francisco has always been a city of transformation. From the nostalgic days of downtown shopping and grand movie palaces to newer buildings on the skyline and stunning neighborhood transformations, change has been a constant factor since the early days of European settlement in the late 1700s. Evidence of early San Francisco is still visible in the revitalized Ferry Building, repurposed as an artisan marketplace; in the celebrated neighborhood street fairs; and even in the enduring edifices of commerce and industry. The city of the future has its roots firmly planted in a much-loved past. City native and local history author Frank Dunnigan showcases the old city as well as the new one gradually emerging.

Where the waves of the Pacific Ocean wash up against the quiet neighborhoods of San Francisco, Ocean Beach has endured as a popular destination for tourists and San Francisco residents alike. At water's edge is the Cliff House restaurant where visitors can look down upon the remains of the Sutro Baths, a 19th-century indoor pool complex. Just south is the famous Golden Gate Park with its two stately windmills, followed by the well-loved San Francisco Zoo. But a century of change has altered the landscape and the attractions of Ocean Beach, making way for new developments and reflecting the evolution of the city of San Francisco itself.

Travel books and magazines continually rate San Francisco among the ten most desirable destinations in the world--and Elan Penn, along with journalist Christopher J. Craig, successfully captures all its enchantment. Readers will practically hear the cable car bells sound as they examine images of the city’s scenic and man-made treasures, culturally diverse and distinctive neighborhoods, and landmarks. But San Francisco has a compelling story to tell, and it’s all here too: its Mexican origins, the gold rush, the devastating earthquakes, and the stunning rebirth. In addition to such well-known sites as the Golden Gate Bridge and the Presidio, Ghirardelli Square, Chinatown, Fisherman’s Wharf, and Haight-Ashbury, the pictures include such landmarks as City Lights Bookstore; the hotels and mansions of the Golden A≥ memorials, monuments, and religious structures; and oases of education and entertainment.
