Tourist Guide
The Photography of Jon Rendell

A stream of visitors to San Francisco of late has meant that I have been on tourist duty. Here's a selection from where we toured.

Cemetery at Mission Dolores.

24th Street is a wonderful tree-lined oasis in the Mission.

Caffè Trieste is said to be the first espresso house on the West Coast in 1956 and became a convenient meeting place for Beat movement writers like Lawrence Ferlinghetti (still a regular at 98 years old), Alan Watts, Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, Richard Brautigan, Bob Kaufman, Gregory Corso, Michael McClure, Kenneth Rexroth and Neeli Cherkovski, who lived in North Beach in the 1950s and 1960s.
