San Francisco Mike: The San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge
http://myredtieblog.blogspot.com/2011/08/san-francisco-oakland-bay-bridge.html
The San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge. The exact location of the bridge was dictated by a bedrock ridge that lies 200 feet below the surface of the bay on the line where the Bay Bridge currently sets. On either side of this ridge, the water is quite a bit deeper. The Bay Bridge noteworthy facts include the following? 2 The total coast was $77 million dollars. I'm living in San Francisco and blogging about its history, architecture, and entertainment. Cheers! The Ghoulish Statues of 580 California Street.

SF History: Crocker's Crime. The fence is located behind the center building. Charles Crocker was one of the "Associates," also called the "Big Four." He shared this title with Collis P. Huntington, Mark Hopkins, and Leland Stanford. All in someway played a role in the creation of the Central Pacific Railroad, and all of them amassed huge fortunes and built mansions to reflect this on Nob Hill. How did the public feel about this aggressive display of wealth and power? Labels: San Francisco History. As Sa...

San Francisco Mike: The Ghoulish Statues of 580 California Street
http://myredtieblog.blogspot.com/2011/08/ghoulish-statues-of-580-california.html
The Ghoulish Statues of 580 California Street. The next time you are in the neighborhood of California and Kearny, look up. You will see three ghoulish looking, grim reaper like statues appearing to stare out at this mythical city by the sea. Were they put there like gargoyles to scare away evil spirits? Are they a sign of human, and city mortality? Labels: San Francisco Architecture. I'm living in San Francisco and blogging about its history, architecture, and entertainment. Cheers! Mad Dog in the Fog.

Pirate Roomies' Banana Battle Food Fight 2010. Sunday, February 28, 2010. I have a little test I use as a scale to evaluate bars and restaurants, and I call it the Beretta. Test If a given establishment were located two blocks from me (as Beretta is) how often would I chose to go there over Beretta? Ignoring need for reservations and crowded conditions (I put up with Beretta, after all) but including price.) I know it is obnoxious, and not all fair, but there it is. And Monk’s Kettle. Rye [#6, 16%].

Friday, May 2, 2014. The Abbot's Cellar Surpasses Expectations. I'd heard mixed reviews about The Abbot's Cellar. Sister to Monk's Kettle. Both known for their wide selection of craft beers, but curiosity got the better of me —. A gorgeous presentation of California's bounty with flavors that backed up the stunning display. Big stalks of crisp tender asparagus came bathed in creamy burrata and a healthy helping of sauteed maitake and other mushrooms. Yes Worth every bite? We even managed to save room for...
