Like its city, the San Francisco Public Library is gritty, pretty, cramped and spacious in odd ways with hidden treasures available when you take the time to look for them.

Just like its city.

The branches all have their charms too. But nary a wireless connection, which is why I dinna bother.

The only thing that the Libary is not like its city, is the nagging feeling that time stopped between the 30's and the 50's.

As much as the developer's wrecking ball is beloved here, the effort to keep the past intact leaves this city feeling like an old movie, almost like New York, without the grimy weathering.

But now I know why gg practically lived here for a time.

Nope, not a bad place to escape the fog and overcast...
