	Okay! Let's learn about the area we are all hoping to visit! I'll give a star for the first correct answer to each question! 1. Name the famous San Francisco location that according to legend was inspired by a fire hose nozzle. 2. Where did Al Capone live during his stay in San Francisco? 3. Name this famous place, opened in 1896, and gone by 1907, but rebuilt and still stands today. 4. Name this very famous landmark, opened for business in 1937, and used the very first day by over 200,000 people on foot or on roller skates. 5. There are some crooked things in every city, but can you name the "crooked street" in San Francisco?? Edited by author Sun Jul 26, '09 12:27am PST

	#3 is The Cliff house (3rd) Fire Claims the Original Cliff House The next disaster to befall Lands End was the loss of the Cliff House to a fire on Christmas Day, December 25, 1894. The Daily Morning Call sadly headlined the news with the words, "Ashen Heaps--The Cliff House is a Reminiscence." The fire had begun around 8 p.m. in a defective flue inside a wall and moved so quickly that proprietor James Wilkins stated that it was hopeless to fight from the start. By midnight, the curious had already begun to arrive and the next day brought thousands more. The proprietors of the Cliff House and its owner, Adolph Sutro, were quick to state that they would rebuild. "Sutro's" Cliff House opened in 1896 and the grand chateau soared five stories higher than its predecessor. The Cliff House survived San Francisco's great 1906 earthquake and fire, but rumors that it had collapsed into the ocean ran rampant. Ultimately, the building was indeed lost, almost as dramatically, to an electrical fire the following year. The Victorian Cliff House Burns Cliff House PC At the time, the Cliff House was closed for renovations. On September 7, 1907, former proprietor James Wilkins was touring the remodeling when he saw smoke coming through a floor where electricians had been working. He sounded the alarms and in doing so became caught in the blaze himself and had to be rescued. The San Francisco Examiner described the fire as "something sent from the unknown to hold the human mind in awe and wonderment." Once again the Cliff House was gone. Again, crowds descended on the area to see the barren cliff, and the proprietors publicly announced that they would rebuild. Two years later, the third Cliff House opened and still stands today.

	You are right Bonzer!! This was actually the third Cliff House, but the only one built in Victorian style. This stunning building survived the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake, but burnt to the ground in 1907. The building that replaced it is much more modest in design, but still has incredible views, good (but pricey!) food, and is just up from a dog friendly beach! More info about the Cliff House, both historical and current.

	#1 is Coit Tower? The tower’s design is reminiscent of a fire hose nozzle—though architects Arthur Brown, Jr. and Henry Howard always denied that it was their intent—and was quite controversial.

	Yes Teddy, you are right! Coit Tower is a familiar part of San Francisco's skyline. Built in 1933 from funds bequeathed to the city by Lillie Hitchcock Coit, it sits atop Telegraph Hill. Legend has it that this tower was intentionally built to resemble a fire hose nozzle, due to Lillie Hitchcock Coit's affinity for the San Francisco Fire Department. The builders, however, claim this is not the case. Personally, I think it bears a very strong resemblance! More information about Coit Tower Good job Teddy! A shiny yellow star is coming your way! That leaves two questions left!! 4. Name this very famous landmark, opened for business in 1937, and used the very first day by over 200,000 people on foot or on roller skates. 5. There are some crooked things in every city, but can you name the "crooked street" in San Francisco?? Edited by author Mon Jul 27, '09 12:53pm PST
