On The Job-City Hall

The seat of power for the city resides at City Hall, like most municipalities. The building is bordered by Van Ness, McCallister, and Polk streets. Below is the Van Ness entrance that faces a number of cultural buildings on the other side of the street.
This is the opposite side of the building with an entrance on Polk street. Directly in front is the Civic Center Plaza. It plays host to a number of events. This Sunday it will act as the meeting point at the end of the Gay Pride Day Parade. Today, there were setting up a screen to broadcast games from the World Cup

The entrances to the structure are laden in gold and black creating a striking contrast between the two colors.

Just south of City Hall is the Civic Auditorium that was renamed after famed promoter Bill Graham. Back when I graduated from high school, our ceremonies were held here.
