If you want to learn more about the history of our neighborhood, you are invited to join me this Saturday, October 22nd, for one or both SF City Guides-sponsored walking tours of Visitacion Valley.
Explore Visitacion Valley, named by 18th-century Spaniards lost in the fog and part of the only local land grant deeded to an Anglo.
Morning Walk, 10AM:
The morning's focus is on the valley's commerce, transportation, and development, including a foray through Little Hollywood and ending at Silvestri's showroom.
Saturday, October 22 at 10:00 am given by Cynthia Cox
Afternoon Walk, 2PM:
In the afternoon (2-4) the emphasis is on community life -- churches, the greenways, housing, etc. This walk is somewhat strenuous, as we go all the way up to the middle school and end at our beautiful new library.
Saturday, October 22 at 2:00 pm given by Cynthia Cox
Both walks begin outside the former branch library at 45 Leland (Leland and Desmond).
All City Guides walks are free, although donations are invited. For more information on these Vis Valley tours or any of the other many offerings, just go to www.sfcityguides.org.
