SF Pictures of the Day II

...The Hilton again with the top of the building cut-off to make it appear as if the HILTON goes on forever was taken by Thomas Rohnacher, my best friend. "Legally Blonde" was playing at Golden Gate theatre at the time; However, "Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolfe" with Kathleen Turner as delicious Martha starts today at GGT through May 12...

SF Hilton & Towers is up Taylor Street in the heart of the THEATRE District...The skyscaper is 46 stories and was built in 1971; a second tower added in 1987 is 22 stories tall. Both Towers have a total of 1,911 rooms, making it the largest complex on the West Coast...

...with the strange weather & everything in bloom, I've been sick...I forget the name of these flowers, but took this shot during a walk through North Berkeley...

[dgreco]

...which is where I've been the last few days...sick in bed...perhaps, i've now caught some kind of bug since everyone has been coughing and sneezing on BART & at work...

[dgreco]

ever try simply saline, I have been using it and I feel so much better.

Saline? No, I haven't tried it...but will try anything to feel better...

[dgreco]

yea it is a spray that you spray in your nose, but it works great. The name of the actual thing is Simply Saline I think, check it out.

sorry it's so small - i really love this pic, but it's from a low-res scan from 5 years ago, when the nicest scanner available to me was pretty lousy. back before digicams were in my price range...

That's a great pic of my favorite WELLS FARGO branch...The white marble interior with brass-colored highlights is even more impression as well as the bank's green marble tiles on the floor...The branch is actually located at 1 Grant Street & Market...near CompUSA and across the street from Four Seasons...
