Streets of San Francisco

There was a t.v. series when I was a little boy.
This was a time when tube t.v. was the living room fad.
One of the popular shows was about a young detective played by a then young actor named Michael Douglas.
That is my memory of San Francisco.It featured the unique streets of the city that goes up and down.Unmarked police cars with wailing sirens chasing criminals were flying over slopy streets.When I got to visit San Francisco for the first time, the streets were what i remember on t.v.
But there is one road that was apart from any of them.It's that zig-zag road on Lombard.Its a tourist attraction, I learned.

The Golden Gate

Here's one thing sure about the Golden Gate bridge.Its far away from being golden.The color of the bridge is not gold.Its like Maroon.
Nevertheless, the view of the bridge from every angle is breath taking.I think the Golden Gate Bridge is one of the main showcase of the United States in terms of attraction.The Golden Gate is not the only bridge in San Francisco.
But it does define a place.Think of San Francisco, you think of the Golden Gate.
The Golden Gate is to San Fancisco as the Statue of Liberty is to New York

Twin Peaks

There is a place in San Francisco where one gets a spectacular panoramic view of the city.The Twin Peaks they call it, is a trip up the hill in order to get a view down below.There you see the unique way houses of San Francisco are built.
House are built like they stick to each other.You can see that clearly from the view above.
Ruby's San Francisco-based cousins Norton Bongbong and Daphne Bongbong-Singh took us up the hills.
The reason is that San Francisco is prone to earthquakes, as the entire California is.
So residents say building houses side by side would make it more resistant against destructive quake shakes.
