North Beach -- January 5, 2013

Today we parked at Fifth and Mission and walked out Kearny and Columbus to North Beach.  We had lunch at the new US Restaurant.  We walked by the former location of Victoria Pastry.  We bought some cookies at Stella, then walked down Columbus.  We found the new location of Victoria by Washington Square.  We walked down to the end of the F line and rode 1050 back to 4th and Market.

I took the photo of City Lights Bookstore on 10-August-2010. 

Door #22 -- May 23, 2012

The door is hardly visible, but I had to include this shot of the Argonaut Book Shop on Sutter Street.  In Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo, Barbara Bel Geddes takes Jimmy Stewart to the Argosy Book Shop to learn about the history of Carlotta.  The Argosy was inspired by the Argonaut, which used to be on California Street.

This post was too late for the blogathon, but please feel free to use the link to contribute.
