We did an open top bus tour of San Francisco yesterday and Mrs Fan Tutti wanted to know why I was taking pictures of basically nothing. ImageImage

Hey if you like seafood, check out the Swan Oyster Depot on Polk St. You may have to queue up for a seat at the counter, but it's worth it.
The New England Clam Chowder is magnificent.

I was there a couple of years ago and snapped the corner of Geary and Baker, a pretty hard-nosed intersection that one...

SF is supposed to have a major problem with people defecating in the streets. Wonder what those streets are called.

The homeless line up in rows in their sleeping bags on the street at night. You go over the Bay bridge towards Oakland and there is a mini city of homeless under it. It is unvebelivably sad. And yet the stupid liberals want to bring in more even more illegal immigrants yet there are no jobs and the city cant look after the people already there. Its a beautiful city but one day it will burn. These people arnt going to sit around twiddling their thumbs forever. Crime was already a massive problem there and its getting worse. Globisim at its finest.

Oh you poor misinformed trumpster

Do you even know what “globism” means and how that connects to homeless in SF

The usa have always in modern times had a huge underclass not bought on by immigrants but by terrible wages (controlled by who) and appalling social welfare.

The homeless head to SF because of its mild climate

But anyway you keep believing the trump fear mongering

Oh you poor misinformed liberal snowflake (see that can go both ways). Ive got friends in San Fran who know exactly the major cause of the homeless situation there because they work with them. Your absolutely right in one thing, they go to San Fran for the climate but also because San Fran is soft on illegal immagrants and who makes up the majority of the homeless there..Tada!...illegal immigrants. But dont let the facts get in the way of a good story. The major reason America has such a problem with its underclass and social welfare..guess what..illegal immigrants. Please dont regurgitate CNN rhetoric and do some research. And if you think this isnt about 'globalism' follow who funds the mass refugee movement. Get your head out of the sand.

The cause of illegal immigration is not San Fran’s “soft” policies on immigrants. Illegal immigration is a symptom of a wider problem.

The real cause is Washington neoliberalism began by Ronald Raygun and carried out with frenzy by Bill C**ton eg NAFTA, financialisation, global investor rights, offshoring, etc etc.

Trump is just blowback.

A book called ”The Brothers” tells how the Dulles Brothers screwed over South America. Two of the biggest See You Next Tuesday's that have ever walked the face of the planet.

It's the Clinton Democrat supporters that need to get their heads out of the sand.

I feel somewhat responsible for this thread.

A last attempt to put it on track. I saw this on the way to the airport. I’m pretty sure “Blvd” is an abbreviation for “Beloved”

Cheers I am enjoying the photos

Could become a great summer pastime on the forum.. see who can get the most obscure or far flung Saint street sign

I’m only responsible for the Geary, Pierce, Lyon and Richo. I saw all the others but was too slow, fortunately Mr Google saw everything.
