On The Job-California St

I find myself along a portion of California St that's just west of the Financial District and in an area known as Nob Hill. Speaking of the Financial District, you can follow the California St cable car line east to the looming buildings that house these institutions



The Fairmont Hotel is one of the city's landmark hotels. The location was featured in the ABC soap opera "Hotel" many many years ago starring James Brolin and Connie Sellica(sp?). I had friends who had their wedding here in an elegant ceremony on a beautiful sunny day.


Another famous place to stay is the Mark Hopkins hotel which is just across the street from the Fairmont. While no television shows were based here, their restaurant, Top of the Mark, boasts top notch food and great views while dining.

Other locations of note include the Masonic Auditorium
Grace Cathedral has been witness to many great events in the city. It reminds me alot of Nore Dame in general shape and design
