I’ve decided to honor San Diego’s pretentious neighbor to the north with 34 San Francisco Finds. From the Golden Gate to Fisherman’s Warf San Francisco has got it goin' bossa nova.
These 35 San Francisco Finds will open your eyes to the glory that is San Francisco. Be amazed by their progressiveness and eco-friendly attitude. I’m jealous already.
Implications - Even if you can't visit San Fran anytime soon, checking out this collection of Golden Gate-inspired innovations will take you one step closer. Though I would still suggest taking a trip over there instead -- the city really is a site to see.
