And this is why you don't "redevelop" with a bulldozer.

@ travin: Man, you've got me ... not a clue. Perhaps one of the re-designers can shed some light. Anyone?

Another great story, Richard. But did we lose the tags in the site redesign? How do we now find the previous history stories?

@ mindful indulgence: Oops. Inadvertent time-machining. Thanks for the catch!

That's more or less true, but wouldn't you like to see that big ol' hill still there?

Paragraph right before "Second Street Cut" references 1968 - I am wondering why on earth there was still such heavy horse cart traffic then... ;) I do love these -- please don't stop!

Rich people were inconvenienced, and a grifter lost his money. Alright!

Too bad the Cable Car wasn't invented 3-4 years earlier ...

As my boyfriend retorts after I say Rincon Hill, "What hill?" SPUR has a decent write-up on the "ever-changing" Rincon Hill ... http://www.spur.org/documents/030101_article_02.shtm
