A local rock star once said, San Francisco is fortynine square miles surrounded by reality. No American city has such a broad sweep of staggering viewsof the ocean, of a huge bay, of surrounding hillsor such a high opinion of its own worth. San Francisco has always been rich, too; the citys great wealth has long underwritten the broadmindedness so vital to its charm. But there is much more to the City by the Bay than money and rarefied air, and, in San Francisco, Michael Johns intimately portrays the history and surprisingly complex sensibilities that give this small city its outsized personality.Johns explores how, despite its sophistication, San Francisco retains a frontier quality that has always attracted seekersof fortune, power, pleasure, refuge, rebellion. Yet the city is more than irreverent, independent, and a bit outside the law: its also historically progressive, technologically innovative, and open to all kinds of people and ideas. As Johns shows us, San Francisco is an easy place to be differenta home to the Beats and the hippies, a vibrant LGBT community and leftwing politics, the rise of Burning Man, and the creation of technologies that make todays San Francisco the City of Apps. From HaightAshbury to the Tenderloin, Chinatown to the Mission, Johnss urban journey blends historical narrative, personal reflections on the city today, and a treasure trove of images for a true San Francisco treat.
