(More customer reviews)I grew up in the Mission and thoroughly enjoyed seeing photos from the home of my youth. It made me want to run down for a Whizburger & strawberry shake. ... and Nickel Pool - Lord that water was COLD! The photo of La Palma Market on 24th reminded me that my mother used to send me there to buy hand-made corn tortillas; so good. The Miracle Mile - I haven't heard Mission Street called that in ages. The memories come flooding back. Ms. Hooper did an outstanding job portraying the heart & soul of the neighborhood.
This pictorial treasure belongs on the shelf of every person who loves San Francisco.

On June 29, 1776, Fr. Francisco Palou dedicated the first site of Mission San Francisco de Asis on the shores of Dolores Lagoon. At the time, it was a just a patch in the village of Chutchuii, the home of the Ohlone people, and Palou could never have foreseen the vibrant city that would eventually spring up around the humble settlement. The final mission building, popularly known as Mission Dolores and San Francisco's oldest complete structure, was dedicated on August 2, 1791, at what became Sixteenth and Dolores Streets. After the gold rush, the district around the mission began its dramatic evolution to the diverse area we know today, a bustling mix of immigrants from other states, Europe, and South and Central America.
