Publications 420 Wando Park Blvd., Mt. Pleasant, SC 29464 0738530077 $19.99 www.amazon.com At long last comes a history of a San Francisco San Francisco (săn frănsĭs`kō), city (1990 pop. 723,959), coextensive with San Francisco co., W Calif., on the tip of a peninsula between the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay, which are connected by the strait known as the Golden neighborhood which has been largely neglected in larger overviews of the city--and it comes from Tricia O'Brien, whose Irish family has lived in the Bayview for several generations. Any who know the area today may be hard pressed to consider cows once walked up the now-busy Third Street, or sheep were herded on Innes Avenue--yet the area was once very rural, and the source of much of San Francisco's food. More so than most other neighborhood books on the city, SAN FRANCISCO'S BAYVIEW HUNTER'S POINT is an essential purchase for any who would receive the full flavor of the city's rural days |
