Benicia actually.

I should have also mentioned Crissy Field. Since the City took over the Presidio, they have also done a great job in making that area a great open space recreational area. If you have not seen it in the last year or two, you should. They have removed the air strip and replaced it with a tidal area/wetlands, but with multi use pathways (bikes/jog/walk).

Business takes me into the city fairly often, otherwise, I would only go there for occasional games (Niner's mostly.

When I first moved here from CT {GO PATS!!!] I first lived in Crockett, with my sister. I now live in San Rafael, Lucas Valley.Skywalker Ranch is right around the corner from me. Lucas is moving into the new Presidio, as you know. There are nice parts of the City. Thats what is so sad about the deterioration of the City,I'm sure 20 years ago it was amazing.I wish it was cleaner and more "user friendly" as I would go enjoy the sights and sounds.

Benicia is a beautiful town. One of my co-workers got married in one of those spectacular old mansions.

The entire waterfront from Crissy to PacBell stadium is a tribute to urban planning & renewal. SF is a like a thoroughbred hitched to a haycart; when given the chance, it reverts to form ie beautiful. One can only imagine how the city would be under a more moderate form of government - probably like the 50s when my dad first arrived.
