Uncategorized 1 Comment »


Thales Directory

San Fransisco covers a great deal of gratitude to the late John Mc Laren whose vision and perseverance in San Francisco’s early years turned more than 1,000 acres of rolling sand dunes into a park. Today Golden Gate Park is one of the most well known and greatest metropolitan parks of the world.

Park visitors benefit from an enlightened policy of operation: the park is meant to be used and enjoyed. You can walk , play, or picnic on the grass anywhere in the park except for the small plot of land surrounding Mc Laren’s statue in Rhododennron Dell. The bridle paths, equestrian field. and bicycle trails are all for public use.

Roller skating as well is enjoyed in Golden Gate Park. On Sundays. the main road through the park;, John F. Kennedy Drive, is closed to autos, making a perfect skating throughfare. Additional areas in the park as well are closed to automobile access.

The M.H. Young and Asian Art museums. the Academy of Science, the concessions , the Arboretum, and the Conservatory close at night. Otherwise the park is generally open 24 hours a day.

The Cannery is similar to Ghardelli Square in some ways. Bounded by Beach, Leavenworth and Jefferson Streets, it was originally constructed in 1894 to house the Del Monte Fruit and Vegetable Cannery. Today the brick building with its concrete walkaways has been restored and refurbished.

The Cannery contains three levels of shopping and eating pleasures. You can buy an assortment of goods from contemporary household furnishings to primitive art objects. Other shops include such items as candles, fine foods and wine apparel , linens, flowers, books and pet supplies. If you not into shopping , or just want to rest- stop at one of the many outdoor cafes. You can enjoy a puppet or mime show- there may even be a “human jukebox” to entertain you.

Outside escalators and stairs provide access to different floors or you can take a glass enclosed elevator from the ground floor to the very top. From the third floor you can see Alcatraz Island, the Bay Bridge and Coit Tower.

On the west side of The Cannery is a plaza containing a small garden center, outside tables, and an oyster bar. Other restaurants feature Oriental , Thai, Mexican , French and English Food.

San Fransisco’s Bohemia in the heart of the North Beach , comes alive at night.
