Bakery

Bursting out of San Francisco's downtown
like a blossoming flower
the SOMA is filled with the spirit of growth

Startups bloom
With entrepreneurs, artists and techies
riding a magical wave of creativity and passion

Art blooms
With incredible murals to be found in the streets
and the museum of modern art providing an ever evolving masterpiece

Architecture blooms
Towering cranes lining the horizon
building new growth into the skyline with an artistic flair

Champions bloom
As our beloved Giants have called the district home
growing beards and winning the World Series two of the past three years

SOMA, you are constantly evolving
I will enjoy watching your transformation
as the spirit of growth makes dreams become real

Car-toons

Nob Hill, I stand atop you and appreciate...

• Your Huntington Park, with people, art, and dogs that bark
• Your cathedral, Grace, and her warm stained glass embrace
• Your steeply sloped sidewalk, great for exercise, views, and art students with chalk
• Your tendernob to the south, with sutter street fun and food for my mouth
• Your behemoth hotel towers, luxurious, beautiful, and adorned with flowers

...and I dream of a time before all this majesty,

when I could stand here and gaze straight down to the sea

Shadowboxing

Fog rolls in from off the sea
like a thick and fluffy tide
as if the city was blanketing
it's cooler western side

To the west, the Pacific Ocean
with beach for jogs, barbecues and kites
To the east, the inner sunset
provides food, shops, fun, and gorgeous heights

To the north lies Golden Gate Park
where forest grows wild and free
And to the south you'll find the zoo
an animal sanctuary

What unique wonders surround the Sunset
and all throughout it's mid
rows upon rows of houses lie
all crisscrossed in a grid

Shamrock

story behind the reflection...

Lucky to be living in SF! The walks are beautiful : )

Cupcakes

Surrounding San Francisco's Union Square
there is fun to be found everywhere
with plenty of shopping
ample barhopping
and restaurants that serve gourmet fare

The sidewalks resemble a mall
with products displayed on every wall
and inside the doors
contemporary stores
that can sell you most anything at all

Tourists should always start here
because so many attractions are near
plus buses with guides
and cable car rides
show travelers which way to steer

If you're looking for breathtaking views
give the Westin's glass elevator a cruise
at The Cheesecake Factory
atop Macy's you'll be
enjoying sweet scenery from here too

You will always find people around
tourists and panhandlers abound
and locals that meet here
or just take a seat here
enjoying the sights and the sounds
