I am african-canadian but i obtained a scholarship to study @ Berkeley this summer and i will be living in El Cerrito. I am a black person, ergo i was wondering if EC is dangerous for gang related crimes on innocent by-standers ( dont laugh at me I've never been to SF and heard that Richmond, near EC is the worst city in NoCal (Not trying to insult anyone from richmond :)

Basicly Is there some corners I should avoid, colors i should not wear( being black) or things i shouldnt do?????

I need ur feedback now i am leaving friday

I'd like to do this as a day trip. I did consider spending the night, but our accommodations for the week are already paid for as a weeky rate.

I'm thinking of taking Hwy 1 down and Hwy 101 back. I don't care to spend a really long time on Hwy 1, but would like to see some of the coast. At which point would you suggest picking up Hwy 1?

And would you take Hwy 68 to Salinas to access Hwy 101 when it is time to head back to SF?

I did read that Big Sur had wonderful views, but with only one day allocated to this, I don't think that is possible.
I'm traveling with my husband and older kids (26-16). We don't plan to stop in Santa Cruz to see the boardwalk entertainment.

I'd appreciate any opinions you might have. Thanks!

Can anyone confirm if there are any public parking places where I can park my car for 3 days while in San Francisco?
I have got an amazing rate on the Galleria Hotel, Union Square but they have said that parking is valet only and at a cost of $45.00per day - kind of undoes the great rate they offered.

I'm driving to San Fran and then need it after San Fran for Yosemite and the airport run and could do without returning and rehiring for 3 days!

We want to visit the castro. I've heard there are some unique shops but what else is there to do in the area? It seems rather out of the way, I can't decide if it's worth the time to go. Is that a safe area to be in at night?

We will be driving from San Fran to Monterey on the 4th of July. We plan on taking the scenic route, Pacific coast highway is highway 1, correct? If by chance the traffic starts to get to us is there any area along the way that may not be quite as scenic and may be worth skipping to move along quicker? If so, where would we turn off? thanks

Is it better to book trips online or wait untill I get there?

We like to relax and do our best to see what we can see so I have to pick our top sites. I have a million questions and this site is so much fun. Soon , I'll be on the Monterey and Napa site. Thanks for all of your help!!

Hi, I am travelling to SFO in July 2013 for abt 3 days. We shall reach SFO at around 1.30 pm and are booked at Town House Motel at 1650 Lombard street.

Answers Appreciated !!!

We will be staying at the Hilton, corner of O Farrell and Mason. Any suggestions for dinner that we can easily walk to? Dress up, dress down. Also someplace fun to go for a drink. We're on the edge of the tenderloin so not in that directions. Thanks

Again, opinions please. I keep reading that Alcatraz is better at night but yet personally I would think the ride over would be more fun during the day. What makes this so special at night? Thanks!

We're not going to have a car for our visit. We normally like to walk but because of the hills not sure what to expect as far as walking. I've seen the hop on hop off in NYC but never used it. We just walked everywhere. I would love opinions on the Hop on hop off for San Fran. Seems like a good idea for our busiest site seeing day. Thanks!
