List updates
Posted on September 30, 2011 by KK in 100 things, city walks, lists.The list. Oh the list. I try not to be obsessed with it, but when I review it sometimes or go to check something off, I occasionally get a bit anxious. Then I remember that it’s not a real thing, no one is monitoring this, except me. However, all that aside, it’s also super satisfying […]

City Walk: Dolores Heights (#97)
Posted on July 25, 2010 by Dan in 100 things, city walks, San Francisco.This city walk is in an area that’s sort of in between a couple of different areas that we commonly visit. Before we did this walk, we’d never been to this specific neighborhood. I’m going to guess that it’s because it’s on the top of a big hill. But since I went ahead and wrote […]

City Walk: Presidio (#88)
Posted on April 12, 2010 by Dan in 100 things, city walks, San Francisco.If you look up the Golden Gate Bridge on GoogleMaps, directly to the south, there’s a big green area – that’s the Presidio. It’s 1490 acres – much of which is just open space. It used to be a US military post, as recently as 1994. Congress wrote a law stipulating that if it wasn’t […]

City walk: McLaren Park and Excelsior (#99)
Posted on March 8, 2010 by Dan in 100 things, city walks, San Francisco.Ugh, that last post about the brewery tour would have been so much better had I written it when I actually remembered something – apologies. Hardly my best work. While Dan and I have a car this month, we’ve been trying to get to different places in the city that would take a wee bit […]

City Walk: Potrero Hill
Posted on November 22, 2009 by Dan in city walks, San Francisco.Another day, another city walk post. This area of San Francisco is called Potrero Hill, which is south of the downtown area of SF, and is a bit more industrial than other walks we’ve been on. It is also a really tight knit residential community, and supposedly where the “up and coming” folks in SF […]

City Walk: Eureka Valley
Posted on September 18, 2009 by Dan in city walks, friends, San Francisco.We really have been in the Bay Area for selected parts of the summer, I promise. During part of that, Deborah was staying with us (before she abandoned us to move to Australia I mean) and one of the things she really wanted to do was go on a city walk with us. So to […]

City Walk: Pacific Heights
Posted on June 29, 2009 by Dan in city walks, San Francisco.Continuing on the quest to appease Rosa, and to get through all the urban hikes in our book o’ city walks, we completed another one last Thursday. I know you may be kind of tired of hearing about them. If so, sorry…because we’ve done 10 of them, and there are 26 total. Get excited. If […]

City Walk: Presidio Wall
Posted on June 17, 2009 by Dan in city walks, San Francisco.Since now there are enough daytime hours on the weekends for Dan and I to sleep in, make breakfast, BART into the city and do a walk without rushing, we’ve decided to take up the urban hiking again. This walk started at 379 feet above sea level and took us around some enormous homes, the […]

Urban (snooty) Hiking
Posted on January 22, 2009 by Dan in city walks, San Francisco.Dan and I went on walk #3, which was up in the ridiculously wealthy area of SF, Nob Hill. The name would also imply that it is a steep, you know, hilly area. I want you to know that we chose to do this walk after going to a nice lunch (it’s Dine About Town […]

Because urban hikes have feelings too…
Posted on September 26, 2008 by Dan in city walks, San Francisco.Well, I realized that after last night’s entry, I completely neglected a hike we had done in June, the same day we had gone to the SF Pride Parade. As opposed to the hike of doom, this hike was nice and short, and not nearly as traumatizing. However, our circumstances were again not ideal, as […]
