And now, because I’m in the Bay Area, here are some photos of the neighborhood where Jo Beckett lives, just to give you a full-color flavor of her corner of San Francisco.
The Powell-Market cable car, on its way down the hill to Fisherman’s Wharf.
Lombard Street, looking east toward the bay.
A view across the city to Telegraph Hill, with Coit Tower on its peak and the Bay Bridge beyond.
One of the Victorian homes that exemplify the city.
(Thanks to Snart for the photos.)

San Francisco is one of my favorite cities. After seeing “The Maltese Falcon” for the first time when I was a kid, I knew I had to visit the City by the Bay. I’ve been back several times since…
Thanks for the great pics, Meg & Snart!
Visiting San Francisco is a pleasure that still awaits me.
That view from Lombard Street is a huge incentive.
I love the architecture.
