Visiting San Fran
Hi, all. I am visiting my son in San Fran for a couple of days. Is
Brizio's Hot Rods worth stopping by to see? Any metal working things to see/visit? Thanks, Bill. |

First of all, to make sure you're not immediately pegged as a tourist, refer to the city as San Francisco, SF, or The City. Never San Fran or Frisco. My two suggestions are the Jeremiah O'Brien: http://www.ssjeremiahobrien.org/ And the submarine Pampanito: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Pampanito_(SS-38 If you have a day to kill, check out the Exploratorium: http://exploratorium.org/ |

Thanks, Jim. I'll check these out. And from now on, it's SF.
Bill. |

I think that I would talk about souped up cars BEFORE I mentioned 'hot
rods' in San Francisco. wrote in message oups.com... Hi, all. I am visiting my son in San Fran for a couple of days. Is Brizio's Hot Rods worth stopping by to see? Any metal working things to see/visit? Thanks, Bill. |

--Hmmm never heard of it. But you definitely want to check out the
Exploratorium. Also, if you cross the bay the Crucible is worth a look. -- "Steamboat Ed" Haas : Whatever happened Hacking the Trailing Edge! : to Porgy Tirebiter? www.nmpproducts.com ---Decks a-wash in a sea of words--- |

Visiting San Fran
I just checked their website and it says that tomorrow (5/13) is their
annual Shop Party and Open House. I'd never heard of this place but now I'm glad to see it. I live only about 5 miles away. FYI, it's in South San Francisco -- that's a different city from San Francisco, although very close. wrote: Hi, all. I am visiting my son in San Fran for a couple of days.

The top of Twin Peaks has a great view of the city if the sun's out. Mt. Davidson does too (with fewer people), but you'll have to walk up. I always recommend Zuni's restaurant on Market for a great meal. If you can stand the Fisherman's Wharf crowds, the Pompanito and the Jeremiah O'Brien are fun to visit, as is the USS Hornet in Alameda. Castro street and Union street will give you a couple of views of the culture of SF. You should take a drive through the Presidio and over to he Marin Headlands and check out the WWII coastal defense forts in both locations. Fort Point under the GG bridge is fun. Enjoy yourself, Peter |

If you will be going as far as the Alameda Naval Air Station, check out
the aircraft carrier Hornet. |
