Present in San Francisco. Past in theater. Future unknown.

Today the San Francisco Historical Society offered a self-guided tour of the Financial District with docents stationed at 14 locations. I was already familiar with a lot of it, but it gave me access to places not normally open to the public, like this room at the Merchants Exchange Building.

Large, beautiful old room with high ceilings, including skylights, four columns in the middle of the room, wood paneling around the lower parts of the walls, murals above.  A man in dark clothes (me) is standing in the middle, smiling at the camera. #SanFrancsco #history

Merced County Courthouse Museum On a trip to Merced a few years ago, I mistakenly showed up to this museum just as they were closing. Such a minor thing, but it's always bugged me. So today I took the train back down (three hours each way) just to finally see it. #California #travel

A view of the front of an all-white building, a courthouse built in 1875, with a large staircase leading up to it, multiple stories, columns, and a statue atop a small cupola.  A driveway is in front, trees are flanking it, and there's a blue sky.Man (me) in a grey polo shirt with blue jeans, standing in a vintage courtroom with wood fixtures and yellowish walls.
