Greetings From The Waterfront.

I had to go downtown today; it was essential. It was a beautiful summer day, with few people around. Weird. Here's some photos...

A shoeshine stand, closed for business. I'd have put a little more shine on the cleats. Battery & Market.

If Steve Jobs designed the Ferry Building. It was a bit of a ghost town inside.

Apparently the large heart is played out as a local art installation. The new favorite? Sea lion -- it's the 30th Anniversary of the Pier 39 colony. (I remember the merchants spending years trying to get rid of them. There's a marketing lesson in there somewhere.)

Hornblower Yachts: their floating offices and the crown money-making vessel of the fleet. (In non COVID-19 times.)

Looking west up California street toward Nob Hill. Downtown is more plywood than people these days.

Detail on the "Grand Old Lady of California Street," The Bank of California, and SF Historic Landmark No. 3. (The bank opened in September, 1908 -- the first new commercial structure in the Financial District after the 1906 Earthquake & Fire.)

Battery Street greenery.

A well-maintained part of yesteryear.

I hear the Christoper Columbus statue has been removed from the Coit Tower parking lot.

They defunded this police call box long ago.
