San Francisco is built on more than 40 hills. When Oscar Wilde visited the city, he remarked, "when you get tired to walking along the streets of San Francisco, just lean against them!"

Remember 63 like it was yesterday, I was eleven and riding up and down hills in the Noe Valley on my single speed bike with balloons rubbing the spokes of my wheels. ❤Love My City ❤Still live only 15 minutes south along the coast, watching sunsets.🧡

I guess you didn’t notice the exhaust pouring from the jet engines and the ship smokestacks. I was a little girl when this film was made (I probably saw it in school a couple years later), and I remember the smog that would hang in the air sometimes over the city. (I’m a native San Franciscan.) I’m sure the bay was plenty polluted then with all of the heavy industry and the ships emptying their bilge tanks.

I've lived in San Francisco my whole life and it looks better today than it has ever looked. Maybe not as good as the San Francisco that existed prior to the 1906 earthquake and fire which had gas lights on the streets and horses and buggies cruising down the streets etc; but much better than it looked in the 1970's when huge sections of the city were ghettos ( The Tenderloin, Hunters Point Fillmore District, South of Market st.) and dangerous to go thru at night
