San Francisco Cable Car In Modern Art 20221125f
The San Francisco cable car system is the world's last manually operated cable car system and an icon of the city of San Francisco. The system forms part of the intermodal urban transport network operated by the San Francisco Municipal Railway, which also includes the separate E Embarcadero and F Market & Wharves heritage streetcar lines, and the Muni Metro modern light rail system. Of the 23 cable car lines established between 1873 and 1890, only three remain (one of which combines parts of two earlier lines): two routes from downtown near Union Square to Fisherman's Wharf, and a third route along California Street. While the cable cars are used to a certain extent by commuters, the vast majority of the millions of passengers who use the system every year are tourists, and as a result, the wait to get on can often reach two hours or more. They are among the most significant tourist attractions in the city, along with Alcatraz Island, the Golden Gate Bridge, and Fisherman's Wharf. San Francisco's cable cars are listed on the National Register of Historic Places and are designated as a National Historic Landmark. -wikipedia
San Francisco, host to the universe's number one gastronomic orgy, world renowned award winning wines and other lively spirits, and not to mention the biggest playground in the galaxy masked as the City by The Bay. Voted the most fun per square foot allowable by any big city ordinance, known internationally as the Mecca of Fun, and enjoyed by long time locals and eccentrics for centuries! If there were ever a place to practice your freedom of religion and philosophy of Eat, Drink, Play, and Repeat, look no further, San Francisco is Your destiny!
"I hope I go to Heaven, and when I do, I'm going to do what every San Franciscan does when he gets there, he says, 'It ain't bad, but it ain't San Francisco.' -Herb Caen"
