Description
San Francisco Mission District was viewed as a Latino neighborhood through much of the 1960s and 1970s. However, the Mission today is both the nexus of the Chicano and Latino community and a neighborhood of artists and hipsters. Mexican, Peruvian, Salvadorian and other Latin American restaurants are pervasive throughout the neighborhood. An independent arts community also arose and since the 1990s, the area has been home to the Mission School art movement. Many studios, galleries, performance spaces, and public art projects are located in the Mission.

Description
Opening in 1898 on the site of the 1875 wooden Ferry House, the Ferry Building became the transportation hub for anyone arriving by train from the East, as well as from all the East Bay and Marin residents who worked in the city. From the Gold Rush until the 1930s, arrival by ferryboat was the only way travelers could reach the city from the East. All but abandoned in the 60s and 70s, the Ferry Building was remodeled and again hums as a transportation hub and busy gourmet marketplace for the city. The Marketplace, organized along the central Nave, provides a distinctive space for bringing together the greater Bay Area's agricultural wealth and renowned specialty food purveyors under one roof. The exterior and main public hall have been restored to their original grandeur for use by ferry passengers and the public at large.
