6th Street Corridor – San Francisco
6th and Minna Streets
6th Street in San Francisco is not the nicest street in the city. Its overabundance of SRO’s crack dealers, and soup kitchens make it a street many people avoid. I took all these shots while wandering by myself, however, it was broad daylight. The point is, like any city, know your surroundings and keep your eyes open, and life is not all that scary.
This mural was painted in 1998 by Precita Eyes. The designer and painter, specifically was William Boler Jr.
On the other side of the alley are these three little gems.
I very much like these murals and I’m glad you feel comfortable enough to take photos there.
Goodness – these are wonderful – we normally come to San Fran in the spring (when it’s still snowing in Breck). I’m going to remember to look for these.
I walk around town a lot and it amazes me how few of these murals I’ve noticed or really looked at. Thanks for doing this.
