And found myself alone, alone Alone above a raging sea That stole the only girl I loved And drowned her deep inside of me

Found slide. San Francisco. Dated August 1969.

It looks like a view from Coit Tower up on Telegraph Hill, looking south toward the Ferry Building and the Bay Bridge, although I could be wrong.

From up here the waterfront is still a parking lot and a wall of concrete.

That wall is the Embarcadero Freeway. Two decks. It opened in 1959 and cut the Ferry Building off from Market Street.

Herb Caen called it the Dambarcadero. The Chronicle wanted it wrecked almost as soon as the cars started rolling. Voters still said leave it in 1986. Then Loma Prieta damaged it in 1989 and a 6-5 vote finally took it down. Demolition started in 1991.

Without the earthquake that loop would still be sitting in this frame.

The midrise slabs in the middle are Golden Gateway. Urban renewal on the old produce market. Sydney Walton Square is the park in there, already planted.

MacArthur Park the restaurant was not open yet. It showed up in 1972 across Front Street from that park, in a brick warehouse, and the ribs were THE reason you went. Bermuda onion strings. It lasted until 2007. Anyone else remember those ribs at MacArthur Park?

The black tower with the X’s on the skin is the Alcoa Building, now One Maritime Plaza. Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, 1967. They put the bracing on the outside so you could see the building holding itself up. Chicago’s Hancock got the same idea a year later.

The clock tower is doing what it has always done. Upstairs in the Ferry Building then was the World Trade Club. Wood paneling. A private dining room with the bay out the windows.

I moved to San Francisco in 1990 after college and my first real memory of the place is a private dinner in that room. When they renovated the Ferry Building at the end of the nineties the club lost that floor. It moved into a building just behind, the old Gabiano’s over the BART tube vent, and it never felt like the same club.

It closed for good in 2006. That building sits abandoned today.

Willie Brown was mayor when that renovation went through. His name is on the front of the building. I photographed him there once. A woman was talking to him in front of the lettering. He pointed at it and said it looks pretty good, doesn’t it?

A lot of what people use as landmarks now is missing. Embarcadero Center had broken ground the summer before but the towers were not up. The Vaillancourt Fountain went in two years later at the foot of Market, those concrete arms dumping thirty thousand gallons a minute. The city took it apart this past June. They are turning that brick plaza and Sue Bierman Park into one five-acre park. Groundbreaking is supposed to be late this year. If it stays on schedule it opens late 2027 or early 2028.

Anybody remember Sinbad’s? Pier 2, just south of the Ferry Building. It was not there yet in this picture. It opened in the spring of 1975 and lasted until November 2015.

They tore it down in March 2016 for the new ferry terminal. What a dump that place was, but what a delightful dump. Named for Sinbad because Caen called the city Baghdad by the Bay.

The slide is a clear August day with dust on the film. Hold it up and the freeway is still there. The waterfront you walk through now only exists because an earthquake in 1989 broke something.

In the 1980s Blackhawk was the East Bay’s loudest display of new wealth.

Years ago, I took a shared Uber and ended up driving in circles in Blackhawk for over 45 minutes. I met a few other unique and interesting passengers during that time.

One of them, an older guy, told me to make sure I enjoy spending time with my family because it’s the only thing that truly matters in life. He went on to tell me not to work so hard because life always works itself out.

When the driver arrived at his place to drop him off, he got serious and looked me dead in the eye as he told me that if I focus too much on work and not enough on my family, one day I would be walking into an empty home like he does day after day, year after year. It was an empty mansion.

The following Monday, I took the day off work and spent it with the family.

Blackhawk is an affluent unincorporated master-planned community known for its luxurious homes, gated communities, and upscale amenities, including a country club, golf courses, and shopping centers.
