Some posters have already mentioned this but SF is so much more than downtown and fisherman’s wharf, the more neighborhoods and parks outside of downtown are where its at.

Crissy Field - walk the promenade, hit beach, go to Fort Point, if you have time you can hike the trail from here all the way to Lands End and Ocean Beach, fantastic views

North Beach - classic Italian neighborhood, picnic in Washington Square, walk up to Coit Tower and down the Filbert Steps on the backside

Alamo Square - great park with views and the painted ladies are classic, to the west of the park on Divisadero there’s lots of bars/restauarants, to the south the Duboce Park area is beautiful as well. Also Buena Vista Park and Corona Heights Park are wonderful as well.

Dolores Park - already mentioned, but beautiful views and park and people watching. Also right by the mission which has tons of great bars and restaurants and a fun somewhat hipster vibe

Bernal Heights Park - a hidden gem with some of the best views in the city, the neighborhood around is full of cool garden staircases. Cortland Street on the backside has great neighborhood vibe with some good spots including a great brewery (Bare Bottle)

Twin Peaks - top of the city

Golden Gate Park - could spend a day exploring this park - museums, botanical garden, conservatory of flowers, paddle boats on Stowe lake, beach chalet at the end by ocean beach

Embarcadero - a bit more touristy and downtown so more riff raff but great waterfront views and fun to check out all the piers, huge farmers market on sundays, ferry building has great shops inside and you can get a ferry here to Angel Island or Sausalito, both great day trips in their own right, ferry rides are worth it just to get views from the water, Reds on the other side of the bay bridge is a classic diner/burger spot

Marin Headlands and the trails around there are amazing, Rodeo Beach is great too and so close to the city. Muir Woods can get crazy, but biggest redwoods close to the city, if you’re up for a hike and some trail route finding you can walk in from the backside, otherwise gotta get a reservation. Muir Beach right down the road is awesome too. Tons of amazing trails up the mountain on Mt Tamalpais as well.

I live here in the city - could go on and on

Go to either Prairie Creek Redwoods SP or Jedediah Smith SP, or both. Those both have some of the biggest old growth that is easily accessible.

Redwoods NP is bigger in size but has a lot of second growth and the good old growth is pretty deep and harder to access. Humboldt is good too but I think the ones I mentioned are better. I live in Northern California and have been up there a lot.

Anyone ever been? I did a search and didn’t find much..

Wife and I are going early March for two weeks. So far we plan to go to Marrakech, Fes with a road trip to the Sahara in between. Then possibly a coastal town or Chefchaouen.

Done a lot of research online but curious if anyone here has any experience.

haha yeah laugh all you want but within our lifetime the urban housing market is gonna be the new trend, its happening in all the major cities

haha no...very winnable for auburn, malzahn has given AU an attitude and drive to win every game....that us unless its a heavy mist in Tiger Stadium :cheers:

interesting stats:

AU D :
Total fumbles gained : 3
Total INT gained : 13

FSU O :
Total fumbles lost : 4
Total INT lost : 13

if we look at stats, which obviously dont foretell everything, seems like the AU D should get theirs, should make for an offensive battle, coming down to the line of scrimmage IMHO

on the time note, do yall think time (to prepare) favors defense or offense more?

Stewart Mandel tweet- @slmandel: Worth noting: A&M did not finish last in the SEC in passing defense. That would be the team playing in the BCS title game.

watching this duke offense, will AU be able to slow the game down enough with their run game to negate the FSU offense?

new over under on this game...80?

it seems like theyve been trying to force the JFF pass while not letting him do what he does with the run, now that theyre opening up the qb run theyre movin the ball, not sure its enough to overcome the shite arse D
