Despite its proximity to tourist traps such as Fisherman’s Wharf and Ghirardelli Square, the former United States army post of Fort Mason, is a bit of a hidden gem as far as non-residents are concerned. But it repays an hour or two of anyone’s time. Its historic buildings include art galleries, museums, an excellent café cum second hand bookshop and one of the best vegetarian restaurants in the country, Greens. The views across the Marina to the Golden Gate Bridge and back towards Alcatraz are marvellous. I hope the photographs below entice any readers who have not visited the site to include that on their next itinerary.

Gosh i miss City College. I dont know if you are aware, but City College has the first 2 of the 3 floors of building B that they use for their art department. Thanks for taking me back to my good days of making pots by the bay!!
You’re welcome! Thanks for the comment!
Three years of splitting classes between Galileo’s main building and Ft. Mason back in the 70’s while Gal was being earthquake proofed.
