Polk St
""A Killing on Polk Street""
Polk Street is a street in San Francisco, California that travels northward from Market Street to Jefferson Street in the Polk Gulch neighborhood, and traverses through the Tenderloin, Nob Hill, and Russian Hill neighborhoods. One of its main attractions is the See's Candy flagship store at California Street, and many restaurants.
As one of the traditional centers of the city's gay community, Polk Street was the location of the first official San Francisco Gay Pride Parade . The street was also the home of Lenore Cauttrelle, who was "the Queen of Polk Street."
The area is also notorious for its violence and drug dealing in the area, and was also based on a thriller, A Killing on Polk Street. It is also prominent for its nightlife, and really a nice place to chill out for all.

Market St
"Market Street - Major Street for downtown San Francisco !!"
Market Street is a major street and important thoroughfare in San Francisco, California. It begins at The Embarcadero in front of the Ferry Building at the northeastern edge of the city and runs southwest through downtown, passing the Civic Center and the Castro District, to the intersection with Corbett Avenue in the Twin Peaks neighborhood.
Market Street's role as an axis is enhanced by its position at the boundary of two street grids. Streets on its southeast side are parallel or perpendicular to Market Street, while those on the northwest are only a few degrees off from the cardinal directions.
Market Street is a major transit artery for the city of San Francisco, and has carried in turn horse-drawn streetcars, cable cars, electric streetcars, electric trolleybuses and diesel buses. Today Muni's buses, trolleybuses and heritage streetcars (on the F Market line) share the street, while below the street the two-level Market Street Subway carries Muni Metro and BART.

Page St
"Page Street - The Perfect Street !!"
Page Street runs parallel to the infamous Haight Street; it races from the edge of Golden Gate Park, slicing through the touristy Upper Haight and not-so-touristy Lower Haight, before finally ending just above Van Ness Street and Market. I lived on Page in the Lower Haight, in a 1-bedroom apartment in the back of a lovely Victorian building. It's a typical apartment for San Francisco: a bit small; too many drafts and not nearly enough outlets; hardwood floors and a murphy bed closet ;quirky Victorian details.
Page is far more quiet than the ever-lively Haight Street; it has its own nooks & crannies that we will explore in the upcoming months, but more generally it's the perfect street to live on as it's so centrally located and literally minutes from everything. Within 15 minutes walk, I can eat Thai, Indian, Chinese, sushi, Ethiopian, falafel (so many food choices; we will spend many hours deconstructing this tasty topic); there are more cafes and coffee shops than I can count; I can go dancing, bar-hopping, or find new live music; the Red Vic Movie House is a quick bus ride away for independent movies and cult film classics; I can shop vintage or discover a new, up-and-coming designer or try on wigs and tiaras at the Piedmont Boutique.

Great Hwy
"Street with magnificent view of Pacific Ocean"
The Great Highway is a road in San Francisco that forms the city's western edge against the Pacific Ocean. Well, it's a good location if you're going to spend a lot of time at Ocean Beach. It's right there, and very handy.
The first mile of Highway trail at the north end is the wide concrete path that accesses the beach, usually called the Esplanade. Start skating south, starting at the sign "Point Lobos -- Great Highway". The concrete is in poor condition but still okay for skating. The view of the Pacific Ocean is magnificent. Golden Gate Park is on your left. Cross the Great Highway at Lincoln, and you will see a well-designed skating trail running north-south on the left side of the road.
