One interesting stretch of the State Belt runs along North Point and Beach Streets, just a block or two south of the Fisherman’s Wharf area. I’ve counted 19 different industries on this segment, all within the span of 10 city blocks of street running, and there might be one or two as yet unaccounted for. It is also likely that there is no one point in time where each of these existed simultaneously.
The project for the weekend is trying to fit enough of this to be interesting on the benchwork that exists. I’m pleased so far to find that with a decent sized block (and streets that are still too small), I can fit in everything from Embarcadero to Polk.
