Vintage Farewell Favorites

Celebrating departed institutions is nothing new in the City by the Bay. Like our famed oceanside amusement park Playland by the Beach, each of these staples of San Francisco culture has been gone for decades. Also like Playland, each was eulogized in local papers and sent reluctantly into the hereafter by our fathers and grandfathers, all sentimental San Franciscans.
