While reading a recent article about San Francisco’s (promising but obtuse) upcoming legislation to use vacant lots for art and pop up gardens, I discovered John King. He’s The SF Chronicle’s “Urban Design Writer,” and his articles demonstrate some darned good taste in urbanism and culture.
Particularly relevant to Scenic Routers is Mr. King’s Cityscape, which chronicles (in the name of The Chronicle!) the unique history and architecture of a different building in San Francisco every week. If you have a favorite building you’d like him to cover, he’s soliciting recommendations. Be sure to tell him Scenic Route sent you – it would be awesome to see him cross-posting some of these gems at scenicroute.info!
