    Quick reminder to tourists visiting San Francisco, please do not leave valuable items in your vehicle while visiting any popular landmarks even during the day. There are alot of smash and grabs. Have an adult wait in the car and rotate so you all can enjoy the view. Have fun and enjoy.

    I just love San Francisco! My husband and I live in the Central Valley and we go S.F. a couple times of year (to get away from the heat! Lol), even during Christmas time. Despite the negative news, we still visit there and have a fun time and we have walked all over the city stay at the hotels on or near Union Square or near the Bay.. great local restaurants and cool local shops and all the years we have visited, we always fine some new place we haven’t been to or trying new restaurants. I grew up near downtown L.A. for thirty years but I’ve been to San Francisco more! Lol.. my mom still lives near L.A. so we visit her and just go to the beach areas to spend time there. We also love going to Sausalito, then Burlingame and Palo Alto. So much to see in Northern California ❤️

      I have been seeing a few concerns. I do agree that theft has become a big issue in San Francisco the past couple of years. However, I also think that the narrative in the media of San Francisco being an extremely violent and dangerous place can be misleading and should not deter you from visiting. With every major city comes higher rates of crime. Please be aware of your surroundings, never leave valuables in your car, trust your instincts, and call for help as soon as possible if you witness a crime

Stay in the tourist areas GG Bridge, Pier 39, Alcatraz, Lombard St, cable car, Alamo Square, Ferry Building and stay out of the Tenderloin and you should have fun

    I thought it was an interesting fact to learn about the American Bison, i believe, in simple terms considering the rate at which they were going extinct... it is now apart of US Law to restore the natural population of the Bison so, the animals(Bison) there may or may no be included in the restoration act to raise the population there. Bison may have a huge impact in the European and Indian culture in America, so why not bring them back for there natural order at home?
