So lovely!

Wonderful to see the views without all the 60s and 70s monstrosities they built in the Financial District. What a lovely city it was. It still is but not the same way...
Too bad he didn't get some interior shots of the Top of the Mark. It was designed by our most advanced architect, Timothy Pflueger, and has been remodeled out of recognition too many times.
When I was a kid in the 60s, Fisherman's Wharf still mostly looked that way, with real boats and fishermen and nets and all that. Now it's a tourist trap.
