San Francisco : 1000 of the best places to...

...eat, drink and shop

Just went to the public library and found a Virgin Pocket Guide in the books for sale bin. I'm going to snoop through it and see if there are any things of interest that have websites available. Unfortunately, so many of these travel guides go out-of-date.

I'm also trying to use as many different website browsers as possible.

29 Russell Street (Jack Kerouac wrote on the road there)

255 COLUMBUS AVE Vesuvios bar, where the beats held court.....
and right next store
261 COLUMBUS AVE City Lights Bookstore
Founded in 1953 by Lawrence Ferlinghetti, it is the Fort Knox of Beat prose and poetry, and the repository of revolultionary and evolutionary ideas and artistic expression. In 1955 City Lights began publishing the works on an eclectic range of cutting edge writers, thinkers, sinners and saints...(yes...HOWL was published by this premier vanguard of avant guard publishing houses) One can only imagine the after hours port, prose and poetry conversations that were held there lasting long past the night and into the morning...record players scratching out a jazz beat...laughter erupting like Vesuvius (..not to be confused with Vesuvio's!! Thats another story.) voices flowing with a symphony of ideas..drfiting out into the ultra cool San Franciso nights...Ghost Voices...now long gone...!!
