A
Beniamino Bufano’s St Francis Statue
A winsome statue of SF’s favorite saint by its favorite sculptor – so what’s it doing in a parking lot? Technically this was only a model for Bufano’s massive black granite St Francis in Grace Cathedral, but there’s something so SF about this version with exposed toes hanging ten like a surfer. When looking for wharfside parking, divine guidance is mighty handy.

Jack Kerouac Alley
Fans of On the Road and Dharma Bums will appreciate how fitting it is that Kerouac’s namesake alleyway offers a poetic and slightly seedy shortcut between Chinatown and North Beach via favorite Kerouac haunts City Lights Bookstore and Vesuvio – Kerouac took his books, Buddhism and drink to heart.
