In today's San Francisco Chronicle, Ron Turner, founder of amazing and influential underground book publisher/distributor Last Gasp, provides a short tour of his favorite San Francisco spots. I've lived here for more than a dozen years and hadn't heard of a couple of these places. Fantastic! From the SF Chronicle:
Magical road trip. "Drive over to Potrero Hill and go down Vermont Street, the real crookedest street in the world, and then to Golden Gate Park, past 25th on JFK Drive. Park and walk next to the little brook. As you walk uphill, you will notice the water is also going uphill! Impossible, but follow it to a small waterfall that empties into the portals of the past."
Tommy's Mexican Restaurant, 5929 Geary Blvd. "As long as you're near the Richmond District, go over to Tommy's Mexican Restaurant and pray that Julio, the world's greatest Tequilaologist, is in. He has 5,000 followers in his tequila school. Classes held nightly."
