Bay Area Wanderer: Solid Luck

Welcome to the first post for Bay Area Wanderer, a new SFist feature in which each week we bring you a quick snapshot story from somewhere in the Bay Area.

We'll go somewhere, take a picture, and tell you a tale. Simple.

We'll cover San Francisco, the North Bay, the East Bay, down peninsula way, and -- if we can swing it -- the West Bay. We've always been intrigued by the Farallones.

* Bay Area Wanderer: Polk and Chestnut, San Francisco

Walking North on Polk towards the blue square of the bay caught between the tall buildings. A glint from the sidewalk caught our eye.
