Hyde Street Pier


Hyde street pier is down by Fisherman's Wharf, they have several old boats tied up there you can tour for a fee, I'm not sure it is worth the trip however.

New Addition to the San Francisco Skyline


San Francisco is undergoing a mini building boom. One Rincon Hill, the condo tower on the very left, is currently under construction, it will be 60 stories and 641 feet tall when finished.
