In February 2020, Pluto Press published Hidden San Francisco: The Guide to Lost Landscapes, Unsung Heroes, and Radical Histories
by Chris Carlsson. This video is the 4th of a baker's dozen of "stops" (there are 85 "stops" in four themed chapters, and an additional 44 "stops" in five walking tours in the appendix) turned into short videos. I hope it will whet your appetite for both buying the book (available at
http://www.chriscarlsson.com/hidden-san-francisco-the-book/) but more
importantly for going out into San Francisco and peeling back the layers of histories to find out how the hell it turned out like this!

This video is about the first road built across the sand dunes and bogs of San Francisco from approximately 3rd Street to 16th Street, along the same route as today's Mission Street.
