City Walks SF #44: Dolores Park and Mission Dolores

This walk involves one of the oldest neighborhoods in the city.

Here is the city's "largest and most colorful" mural, located on the Women's Building. Personally I am rather afraid of it.



Next up: Mission Dolores. Do you recognize it at all from Vertigo? We didn't at first, until we saw the second tower.



A building in the complex dates from 1788 - apparently the city's oldest! Not quite the history New Mexico has, I guess.



And finally, Dolores Park. We always happen to be here on a super nice day, and I am always surprised at how many people can fit in a city park. I have a feeling it is not just a place to enjoy the weather, but a place to see and be seen.
