    Regional Oral History Off ice University of California The Bancroft Library Berkeley, California Richard B. Gump COMPOSER, ARTIST, AND PRESIDENT OF GUMP'S, SAN FRANCISCO An Interview Conducted by Suzanne B. Riess in 1987 Copyright @ 1989 by The Regents of the University of California Since 1954 the Regional Oral History Office has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West,and the Nation. Oral history is a modern research technique involving an interviewee and an informed interviewer in spontaneous conversation. The taped record is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The resulting manuscript is typed in final form, indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between the University of California and Richard B. Gump dated 7 March 1988. The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes. All literary rights in the manuscript, including the right to publish, are reserved to The Bancroft Library of the University of California, Berkeley. No part of the manuscript may be quoted for publication without the written permission of the Director of The Bancroft Library of the University of California, Berkeley.

Do you want more? Join us in uncovering new places around the world on: www.111places.com Foreword In all my years living in San Francisco, I have never stopped discover- ing new places, hidden stairways, unexpected vistas, and stories embedded in every crevice. Strolling the city’s rolling terrain brings you face-to-face with these charming details, like the scrollwork on an old Victorian, an overgrown garden of jasmine in a concealed alley, or the lively salsa rhythms drifting out of an open window. For a city that is only seven miles wide and seven miles long, the diversity here is stunning; from musicians, artists, and hippies, to hipsters and entrepreneurs, its population refects every human shape, color, and spirit. It’s not only the people who have defned the neighborhoods, but the land itself: there are 14 hills across which the city rises and falls. In San Francisco, each hill, from Telegraph to Potrero, and every valley, from Noe to Hayes, has its own architecture, its own history, and even its own weather.

San Francisco is a truly unique city and this is certainly reected in some of the lesser known attractions available. With all this in mind, we have put together this guide to introduce you to the hidden gems of San Francisco, highlighting the city’s best-kept secrets. Lands End This wild and rocky corner of San Francisco is well loved by residents but it might not be somewhere that instantly springs to mind when it comes to visiting the city. It should, however, as Lands End (within Golden Gate National Recreation Area) is able to oer stunning views of the water, pretty hillsides, glimpses of old shipwrecks, and a number of fascinating features such as ruins and a labyrinth, not to mention beautiful wildlife. David Shaw of Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy told us more about this must-visit spot: “Lands End is the rugged and wild edge of San Francisco where the Pacic Ocean meets a rocky shore just west of the Golden Gate. The views are spectacular looking out to the Pacic to Seal Rock and Mile Rock from the coastal trail and back toward the city in the other direction with views to the Golden Gate Bridge and the Marin Headlands. Because Lands End is outside the Golden Gate, it is possible to often see pilot whales, dolphins, migrating California gray whales, and humpback whales.

  • Tonga Room, S.F
    Sept. 5, 2004---- SAN FRANCISCO -- The ups and downs of World War II were played out at the corner of California and Mason streets here on Nob Hill. The history is as cloudy as a third mai tai, but I have a theory. In 1939 the romantic Top of the Mark restaurant and lounge opened on the 19th floor of The Mark Hopkins Hotel, 999 California St. The lounge with the 360-degree view of San Francisco became a favorite place for Pacific-bound servicemen to share one last drink with friends and lovers. The Fairmont Hotel across the street at 950 Mason saw the high drama at the Top of the Mark, so in 1945 it turned its basement swimming pool into the S.S. Tonga tiki bar for servicemen returning from the Pacific. Tonga is the island in the heart of the South Pacific, east of Fiji and south of Samoa. The S.S. Tonga was one of America's first Polynesian themed restaurants and cocktail lounges. The dance floor was built on the remains from the deck of the S.S. Forrester, one of the last tall ships that sailed between San Francisco and the South Seas. After Don the Beachcombers and Trader Vics washed across America's shores in the 1950s, the restaurant was converted into The Tonga Room and Hurricane Bar. Thatched huts were then built around the room, surrounding the swimming pool. The Tonga Room is still going strong. Visitors still drink under the huts. There are 19 drinks on the bar menu and they include the power-packed Tonga Mai Tai and a Scorpion (rum and brandy mixed with fruit juices).
