NOTABLE INCIDENTS: 23:00 Start of Patrol • 23:25 444 Castro Street – Posted Trespass (MPC25), Amplified Sound (43): BFA observed within the doorway of the Citi Bank playing an amplified keyboard in close proximity to the ATM machines and the Night Deposit area. We also observed a valid MPC25 properly posted on the bank façade. Advised the WFA of the MPC25 ordnance and asked her to move away from the area of the ATM’s explaining there was also a State Law prohibiting loitering in proximity to ATM’s. At first the subject refused to comply, stating “I play here all the time and no-one ever moves me.” We repeated the reasons for us asking her to move and she again refused. We advised that we would call SFPD if she did not comply, and on a third refusal, we called the non-emergency and Patrol Special Police. Subject eventually moved to the edge of the sidewalk by the parked cars when she realized we had indeed called SFPD, but continued to play the amplified keyboard.

  • Castro and Noe Valley
    Tour #8: The Castro, Noe Valley, and Dubose Triangle The tour includes a lot of walking uphill for two and three blocks at a stretch. Because of this, you have the option of a “Reader’s Digest” (i.e., abbreviated) version of the tour or the complete, unabridged (i.e., hills included) option for this tour. The tour of the Castro, Noe Valley, and Dubose Triangle starts at the intersection of Market, 17th, and Castro streets. To reach the intersection, take any of following MUNI Metro trains: K Ingleside, L Taraval, or M Ocean View – all of which stop at the Castro Street Muni Station. You can also take the historic streetcar line, F Market & Wharfs, from Downtown to the same intersection. The #24 Divisidero bus line travels north-south along Castro Street. Link for the Google Map of this Tour: Tour #8: The Castro, Noe Valley, and Dubose Triangle. Brief comment about “The Castro”: In the 1970s, when the Castro saw the flowering of the nascent gay community in San Francisco, this neighborhood was still known as Eureka Valley. You will occasionally see that name used by businesses and other entities in the area. Visit the “Links” page of the Tours of the Tales website for addition links to information about the Castro. Castro MUNI Metro Station During the 2011 Pride Festival, the American Conservatory Theater and the City of San Francisco painted this mural at the inbound platform at the Castro MUNI Metro Station. Visitors were invited to take their photos standing at this mural and post it to Facebook for prizes.
