First off, let me just say, "Wow!" Walking up to the grand entrance, you can't help but be struck by the sheer magnificence of the building. The architecture is a breathtaking blend of Beaux-Arts and Renaissance styles, and the towering dome seems to touch the sky. It's a testament to the city's rich history and grandeur.
Inside, the opulence continues. The grand rotunda is nothing short of spectacular, with its sweeping marble staircases, intricate details, and a massive chandelier that adds a touch of old-world charm. I felt like I'd stepped into a scene from a classic movie.
But the real showstopper was the Board of Supervisors Chamber. This is where the city's decisions are made, and it's a room filled with history and gravitas. The ornate woodwork, stained glass, and murals depicting the city's past make it a place where you can't help but feel a sense of importance and civic pride.
While touring the building, I stumbled upon an unexpected surprise: a wedding ceremony taking place on the grand staircase. The bride looked radiant, and the backdrop of City Hall was nothing short of magical. It made me appreciate the building's versatility and the role it plays in so many important life moments.
The staff at City Hall were incredibly friendly and helpful. They offered insights into the building's history and pointed out interesting details that I might have otherwise missed. Their enthusiasm for City Hall was infectious, and it added an extra layer of enjoyment to the visit.
Whether you're a history buff, an architecture enthusiast, or simply looking to appreciate the beauty of a grand building, this place has it all. I left with a newfound appreciation for the city's heritage and a sense of wonder at the beauty that can be found within the heart of a bustling metropolis. Don't miss the chance to explore this cultural treasure when you're in...
Read moreHi, my name is JoAnn and I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Anthony Lee, Utility Inspector for the City and County of San Francisco. DPW had come into my office at Conklin Bros., Floor Covering of San Francisco, which we do a lot of Floorcovering for DPW since I've been here for the past 26 years.
When Anthony came to me at the front desk we started talking about an area in the Bay View that had really really bad pot holes, I thought my tires were going to explode every time I came into the city taking the Cesar Chavez exit off of 101 South and then taking the Bayshore exit, Right there was the worst pot holes to have to drive over coming to my office every day. I would try to immediately go to the right where Potrero meets Bayshore just to avoid them, Obviously if no cars were coming in the same direction on the right of me. It was really bad. While talking to Anthony I told him about that area and he new exactly where I was talking about and said he has been working on getting the road fixed for some time. I told him if he got that area of Bayshore re-paved I would call him and say THANK YOU and then Let Every One Know that he and his Team finally got it done, whatever steps Anthony had to take to do the job he took them. Thank you again Anthony, you may not have done all the work yourself, but I know you initiated it. How Awesome is Anthony, DPW and whoever paved them terrible holes. There is a God. DPW IS AWESOME DPW is VERY LUCKY TO HAVE MR. ANTHONY LEE ON THEIR TEAM. NOW I SEE MY TAX $$$$$ AT WORK.
THANKS AGAIN, NO MORE POT HOLES...
Read moreQuestion for the city hall to what extent are you allowed a security person who does not wear a police uniform but is part of a security company to do their job since situations like a security person approached me because I was standing at the entrance of a garage, no vehicle came in or out of it, Mistral remained in the place since I was resting for about 10 minutes to continue on my way but this person approached me with his hand seeming ready to pull out a gun, he approached me in an arrogant manner that I had to move, I did it because if I was standing at the entrance very correctly I moved to one side leaving the way free for one like that he tried to intimidate me and in an arrogant manner he yelled at me that I had to move, to which I arrogantly responded like he did, is the street and the sidewalks free or is there some code within the city of San Francisco that there are restrictions to be able to stay, rest or walk on streets that are supposedly public
The day Today another security person also approaches in a not very nice way saying that I have to move and that I can't stay in the place. I made a brief to accommodate my backpack. Is this allowed? Can you let me know the map of streets where I can walk on the public road or are the streets, avenues, and sidewalks in San Francisco private? Whenever you want to answer, you already know where I am. You have my information, you have me marked, registered, and harassing me. Whenever you want, approach correctly if I owe something to the city or the state of California. Let me...
