     @DavidGallagher Yes, but an authentic greasy spoon > a plaza with furniture.

     Hang on... I think I have a photo my father took of Justin Herman Plaza in the mid 1970s. Back shortly.

     @DavidGallagher
     David - here you go: Justin Herman Plaza, sometime in the early 1970s.

     Long before Photoshop, there was my father and scotch tape. This is from his scrapbook, taken on a trip Dad took with my mother one summer when they headed up the coast from San Diego to San Francisco.

     Dad always had his Minolta and his flask by his side.

     @DavidGallagher TBH I would love to hang out at a coffeeshop there and read a newspaper... more than I would at a concrete fountain.

     @BobHorowitz you know, there are nice tables and chairs around the plaza!

     Embarcadero & Sacramento, 1953
     View northerly from the sidewalk at Sacramento toward Commercial Street, now the middle of Embarcadero Plaza. The giant billboards facing the Ferry Building & the bay were the first impression for ferry commuters at what was once known as the City Front. #sfhistory
