  • Introducing San Francisco
    © Lonely Planet INTRODUCING SAN FRANCISCO A cable car trundles along Hyde St, with Alcatraz (p62) in the background Grab your coat and a handful of glitter, and you’re good to go in San Francisco. Here antics usually re- served for holidays and disco theme nights erupt spontaneously, and when all that damp fog and sheer delight hits you, this town will give you goose bumps. What with all the earthquakes and daydreamers, this peninsula keeps only a tentative hold on the planet, not to mention the continental US. But as any San Franciscan will point out, gravity is overrated anyway. With 43 hills and a population of free thinkers, crafty inventors and weirdos passing as normal, this city stubbornly refuses to be brought down to earth. Instead, reality is forced to rise to the occasion, with flocks of wild parrots taking to the treetops, ingenious meals by rising star chefs, and poets who just keep on riffing until their words take flight. San Francisco’s stratospheric booms and crashing busts aren’t for the faint of heart, but as anyone who’s clung onto the side of a cable car will tell you, this town gives one hell of a ride. SAN FRANCISCO LIFE Many visitors have the same first reaction to San Francisco as to the Mona Lisa: can it really be so small? This seven-by-seven-mile peninsula looms much larger in the imagination than it does in reality. Earthquakes and capricious city rules that limit building higher than the tip of the Transamerica Pyramid have forced big-name architects to get creative with small-scale museums, resulting in Mario Botta’s kaleidoscopic SFMOMA, Herzog & de Meuron’s copper-clad MH de Young Memorial Museum oxidizing green to match Golden Gate Park, and Renzo Piano’s 2 wildflower-domed, Hobbit Moderne design for the California Academy of Sciences.

  • Memo to the Historic Preservation Commission HEARING DATE: March 21, 2012
    Memo to the Historic Preservation Commission HEARING DATE: March 21, 2012 Project Name: Landmark Initiation Application 301 Geary St, aka 247 Powell, Gold Dust Lounge Case Number: 2012.0118L Staff Contact Moses Corrette, Preservation Planner [email protected] (415) 558-6295 Reviewed By: Tim Frye, Preservation Coordinator On February 1, 2012, the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) received a report by Christopher VerPlanck and a request by several members of the public to consider initiation of the Gold Dust Lounge at located at 301 Geary Street, aka 247 Powell Street as an Article 10 Landmark. On February 15, 2012, the HPC conducted a hearing to consider initiating Landmark designation for the Gold Dust Lounge. The HPC acknowledged that while there was documentation of the background history, more information is required to determine if the Gold Dust Lounge possesses local cultural significance to justify Article 10 Landmark designation. Responses to HPC Requests On February 23, the Department summarized the HPC comments and questions in a letter to each party (attached). On March 12, 2012, the Department received three reports each evaluating the Gold Dust Lounge. First, a revised DPR 523 form from Christopher VerPlanck finds significance in support of designation. The second and third reports commissioned by Coblenz, Patch, Duffy & Bass LLP on behalf of the building owners were prepared by Garavaglia Architecture, and by Preservation Architecture find no significance to support designation. The following table identifies where each report addresses the HPC’s comments: HPC Request VerPlanck Report: Garavaglia Report: Preservation DPR 523 Form DPR 523 Form and Architecture Report: Cover Letter Historic Resource Evaluation 1.
