Sometimes described as a younger Pacific Heights or a more relaxed Marina, Cow Hollow’s beautiful Victorian architecture and bustling commercial strip along Union Street make it destination in its own right. Boutique shops, salons and spas, casual restaurants and an energetic nightlife make the neighborhood one of San Francisco’s most coveted.

Who is the one of the only person to still be buried in San Francisco while cemeteries were moved later on?

Thomas Starr King
Thomas Starr King spoke out on behalf of the Union, African Americans, the Sanitary Commission, the magnificent California landscape, and the Unitarian church. At the time of his death, The San Francisco Bulletin described him as one of California’s “noblest orators” and the country’s “ablest defenders,” primarily because of the rousing, patriotic speeches he delivered. Californians admired their young preacher, but the intense traveling and speaking took a toll on his health.

At the age of 39, after only four short years in California, he contracted diphtheria and died of pneumonia a few days later.  He is buried in a fenced in area at Franklin & Geary Streets.  He was born in 1824 until he passed in 1863.

February Neighborhood Spotlight: Cow Hollow ✨

Cow Hollow is one of the most walkable, fun neighborhoods in the City! Nestled just in between Pacific Heights and the Marina, this neighborhood is only a handful of blocks deep, but stretches from the Presidio to Van Ness. 

There are endless restaurants and bars to choose from. From fast-casual, but healthy, to Michelin star, Cow Hollow has an excellent dining scene.

It is one of the best places to live with a young family, as you can attend the new mom’s classes at Sprout, have multiple playgrounds within a short walking distance, and the Marina Green (for weekend soccer, of course) just a few blocks away.

The western part of the neighborhood is quiet and tucked away, but still walkable to all of the action. It leads to the entrance of the Presidio, where walking trails, scooter paths and the new Presidio Tunnel Tops park await.

The Embarcadero Freeway was originally designed to connect the Bay Bridge and the Golden Gate Bridge but was never completed. The Embarcadero only succeeded in cutting off the city from the waterfront.  The freeway met it’s fate after the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake as it was deemed unsafe and later reimagined into what it is today.

When the Cable Car days were in numbered in the late 1940s, Mayor Lapham pushed for modernization away from cable cars to busses.  Mayor Lapham lured the public with the offer of free bus rides to win them over to get rid of the Cable Cars (which failed at the ballot as 77% whom voted, voted to save the cable cars).

Aerial view of San Francisco without the Golden Gate Bridge probably taken in the 1920s.  Also of note are the sand dunes  that are south of Golden Gate Park.  Angel Island in the distance.

Occupying a strip of the city spanning from Van Ness Avenue to the Presidio but only four blocks wide, a breath of fresh bay air is never far. Marina Green, Fort Mason and Crissy Field are all a short distance away, while Cow Hollow Playground and Allyne Park are right here at home.
