Beyond the heights where one catches glimpses of the ocean, the cityslopes to abrupt cliffs along the outer harbor, and here are mansionswhose windy gardens overhang the surf. Beyond Market street is the areadescribed in the phrase, "south of the slot". Superficially drab andgray in aspect, it has been celebrated again and again in song andstory. From this region have come the majority of San Francisco'schampion athletes. Near here beats the red heart of the labor world. Andnot far off still st...ands that exquisite gem of Spanish catholicism -Mission Dolores.
Here and there - and it is a little like meeting a ghost in a crowdedstreet - through all the beauty and freshness of the new city projectthe bones of the old: the lofty ruins, ivy-hung, of a huge Nob HillPalace here; the mere foundation, bush-encircled, of a big old familymansion there; elaborate rusty fences of Mid-Victorian iron whichenclose nothing; wide low steps of Mid-Victorian marble which leadnowhere. The San Franciscan speaks always with a tender, regretfulaffection of that dead city, but, as is natural, he speaks of it lessand less.
