San Francisco’s
Lost Landmarks
by Jim Smith
People who recall San Francisco's prior days bemoan
that it just isn't the same... and they're right.
San Francisco will always remain one of the world's
great cities, but yesterday's San Francisco,
with its personalized style and charm, had no rival.
With long-forgotten stories and evocative photographs,
San Francisco's Lost Landmarks showcases the
once-familiar sites that have faded into dim memories and
hazy
legends. Not just a list of places, facts, and
dates, this pictorial history shows why San Francisco as
been a legendary travel destination and one of
the world's premier places to live and work for more
than one hundred and fifty years. It not only
tells of the lost landmarks, but also serves up the flavor
of what it was like to experience these past
treasures.
