On The Job-Market St

Market St is the main corridor in the downtown area. It runs from the Embarcadero in the northeast down to Castro St at its southwestern terminus. Skyscrapers housing major corporate headquarters and offices line the boulevard amidst restaurants and retail. At Kearny St, people gather at Carlottas Fountain every April to commemorate the Earthquake of 1906.

Looking toward the bay and the beginning of Market in the northeast corner of the city.

Some of the tall buildings in and around Market St

Now, looking in the other direction toward the southwest to Castro St. The Gay Pride parade marches down these very same streets
