The day starts a little cloudy but there’s still a lot to see on Market Street if you like architecture. Perhaps like Seattle where the water makes a perfect grid impossible, streets meet at odd angles leading to non rectangular structures. I like the staggered windows on the side of the Golden Gate building.
There’s also some famous buildings like Hearst’s.
The streetcar also runs along Market, they’re not all the same though having been acquired over the years, some from other cities. It’s nice that they avoided painting them all the same way and maintaining some of their original persona.
At the end where Market meets The Embarcadero is the Ferry building, center of a huge farmers market that puts Pike Place to shame – hopefully once the viaduct comes down, the Seattle waterfront could be converted into something like this.
