  • Abandoned Copra Crane, phiz wrote 11 years ago:
    The movement to preserve it, and make it a tribute to the copra handlers and a symbol for all workers, has attracted enthusiastic ILWU support. IBU and Locals 6, 10, 34 and 91 pensioners and active members have set up a Labor Landmark Association and ding-a-lolly.

    See articles about the restoration on the web. It now in its original Blue & Gold colors, as it was when it was the property of UC Berkeley. Hallidie was an erstwhile Regent of UC.
  • Cave exit, Davilo (guest) wrote 11 years ago:
    Oops, I just put on my glasses and reread what SF Liberal wrote and realise that I misread it. I agree that climbing (not diving) around this area is fun, although it does require using caution as one misstep could be your last step.
  • Cave exit, Davilo (guest) wrote 11 years ago:
    "Fun cliff diving can be found here!" It's fun right up until you hit the rocks.

  • First Church of Christ, Scientist, eric (guest) wrote 11 years ago:
    "After several temporary homes, and a major earthquake in 1906, the membership of First Church of Christ, Scientist, San Francisco, hired noted Bay Area architect Edgar A. Mathews to design the present church at the corner of Franklin and California Streets. The cornerstone was laid in 1911 and the church formally dedicated in 1913. Its architectural style is characterized as Romanesque-Byzantine by the architect. A tapestry of warm polychrome brick provides a warm glow in any kind of light. In the September 1913 issue of The Pacific Coast Architect it is written, “The delicate terra cotta ornament is concentrated where it blends most harmoniously on the main facades, while the graceful lines and proportions of the building as a whole are a perpetual delight to the eye.” The exterior is punctuated with a medium height, squared belfry or tower, and has a heavy roof overhang in the style of northern Italian country churches."

    The wikimapia system seems not to be able to express the @ (собачку) symbol in the title of the enterprise.
  • Treasure Island, Ernie Bailey (guest) wrote 12 years ago:
    I was stationed on Treasure Island in 1963/1964. I attended the Electronic Technician "A" school that was 48 weeks long. Seems that the Marine Barracks, Chow hall, and many of the buildings on the East side of H Avenue remain intact to this day. The old Navy Exchange, Movie theater, hangars, and bowling alley buildings also still exist. It was great duty, but it was hard to enjoy San Francisco on $38.00 a month. That was E-2 pay at that time.
  • Yerba Buena Island, Ernie Bailey (guest) wrote 12 years ago:
    I remember Nimitz's wife, Catherine used to swim in the indoor pool on Treasure Island. I used to go over and swim and occasionally see her there at the pool. She like the water very cool, so they kept it at a temperature hardly anyone else could tolerate. She seemed like a nice lady, she would always say "hi" to everyone, including us peons. I was there in 1963/1964.
