Classic San Francisco – From Ocean Beach to Mission Bay
Book review by Craig MacDonald of Classic San Francisco From Ocean Beach to Mission Bay by Frank Dunnigan
Change–for good or bad–is a constant in San Francisco and everywhere. A new book by Frank Dunnigan, History Press, takes readers on an intimate, nostalgic and sociological look at one of the most famous and visited cities on Earth.
From the population changes to the rise of the Internet and how it impacted business, the author takes you for a walk through different districts & cultures. He pays tribute to “Memories of the Past,” like the still popular Coit Tower (completed in 1933 as a tribute to volunteer firefighters); Maye’s Oyser House, Lefty O’Douls, & the Emporium Department Store (that lasted 99 years).
Filled with information about trends in architecture, sports, food, culture and more, if you love San Francisco or love reading & witnessing (through photos) Urban Change, this book’s for you. Read the review…>
