Urban Girl Tip: Explore your roots

I just discovered that the San Francisco Public Library has a really cool collection of online historical photos of the city. Plus, you can search the archives by neighborhood to get a good look at your street way back in the day. For example, this photo is Market Street between Sanchez and Noe in 1897. It’s so hard to believe that my neighborhood used to be so undeveloped! This is also a good site for reading about the history of Castro.
