A boatload of S.F. history with Gary Kamiya
Total SF - A podcast by San Francisco Chronicle
Categories:
Gary Kamiya, who penned the ultimate San Francisco history book "Cool Gray City of Love," is giving nautical history tours. Total SF hosts Heather Knight and Peter Hartlaub take a boat trip through the Bay with Kamiya, learning about Juana Briones and other under-appreciated early city heroes, Then they record on his patio in North Beach — talking about his first memories of San Francisco, why El Farolito is nothing like Carl's Jr., and why San Franciscans are generally wrong when they say the city has let them down. (But we should listen carefully to them anyway.) More information at www.garykamiya.com. He also talks about his involvement as host in the new documentary "Moving San Francisco." Produced by Peter Hartlaub. Music is "The Tide Will Rise" by the Sunset Shipwrecks off their album "Community" and cable car bell-ringing by 8-time champion Byron Cobb.
