I seen the Francis Drake before and after the renovation, I kind of missed the old hotel as much as the new design of the Beacon Grand looks great too but they moved the bar from the front floor and now they made it there reservation area instead. Then they took the reservations out on the second floor and now it's just a bar with grant piano and a dining lounge. It's a beautiful hotel, I don't know why they got rid of the sky lounge on top of the hotel, its apparently is meeting rooms which doesn't make any sense. The rooms I guess are pretty fancy they're smaller than the average Western St Francis rooms which is where I stayed last weekend but I did go over to the Beacon Grand which is formerly the Sir Francis Drake hotel. Many people still call it the Sir Francis Drake hotel which I think is cool but I don't know why they made the changes and the fact it took two years to renovate it. They renovated it during covid and they're in full swing now. The place isn't cheap but I can tell you that the place is absolutely immaculate, bathrooms are just so clean place is very nice. I just don't know why they changed the Sir Francis Drake name, all I know is it's now it's independently owned instead of corporate owned.

I wish they would take down the red white and green on the lamp poles. There are no Italians in North Beach any more, gone are the days when the old Italian men would sit in Washington Square and smoke their tuscanlies and play botche ball. Mass in Latin and spoken everywhere. Where rent wasn't a fortune and everyone knew everyone else. That's the North Beach I grew up in, the North Beach my mother and father grew up in as their parents did. Take down the red white and green as it's not an Italian neighborhood any more.

amazing more San francisco

Boy, this breaks my heart. I used to sit in this small park regularly during my lunch hour. Under the redwoods -- no better place than that in downtown San Francisco. But all that is a distant memory.

Esa playa se llama "Playa de La Verga", que es la desembocadura del barranco de La Verga. "Anfi del Mar" es solo el complejo turístico, del grupo "Anfi", no la playa, ni la zona, otra cosa es que llegara un noruego del extranjero a pretender apropiarse del lugar, el nombre y la cultura y que los sumisos le den la patita, pues no.

in last tens years, our mayor ruin are city....it does not look like this anymore...too bad...

five new towers...buildings......awful ruin our skyline.....

Beutifull and quit place.. New friend here.. Sending my support..

Now cancel culture has come for the Drake. They want to rename it because Sir Francis Drake has been boiled down to being some kind of tangential slave trader by the PC fascists. They should just be done with it and name every street and every building after famous black people. I grew up in the Bay Area and have fond memories . When did San Francisco become such a joke? The most overrated city in the world at this point.

Do you mind if I use this as b-roll for a video for an anti-eviction charity? There are some great shots here. It won't be shown publicly. Please let me know, thank you.

Keep the criminals on pier39west illegal gambling the flimflammer Andrew jackson n his gang ripping people off in broad daylight with the pea rip..

Nice,thanks!

I've been to The Stinking Rose 23 years ago... fond memories... of every entree arriving with a side of roasted garlic.

I used to work down on Fisherman's Wharf, my husband worked down in SOMA. I used to walk all the way there by way of Little Italy just so I could breathe the aroma of their food as I passed by. Loved walking through North Beach.

Thank you so much for posting; it felt like just simply being there, and especially hearing the city without anything added is a wonderful experience, plus all of your loving shots of beautiful places which capture the soul of S.F. XXXO!!!

I miss San Francisco.

Mi rincón de felicidad. 💕💖

The blogger expressed his disdain for the hotel as [being] "dated ... (something I don't care for) ..." which, in any city worldwide for a historic hotel or building for that matter -- is it's age. In fact, the hotel was erected and built in 1928, approximately 89 years ago. So by comparison to newer vs. older historical hotels that were not destroyed after the 1906 earthquake, are far from others much older and pre-war like on the East Coast in Boston, New York, or further down South. Many tourists stay here for the ambience, and tour-de-force interior Californian styled old world luxury. When streetcars ruled the City. It's a far cry from today's monopolistic minimalism mimicry and suburbia. For an inner urban Historic Landmark it's pretty much in the same league as those in L.A. [We] beg to differ as academic scholars of its architecture and interior significance.

I was at that beach earlier today I'm there for my holiday LEL

Thanks for the great movie information. A picture says more than 1000 words. And your film about from Anfi del Mar, Gran Canaria, so much more. Movies provide mostly good information how it looks in the fields, nature, sea, beaches, roads, communities, and more. Have taken note of your movie and shared, for my visitors at my side. A big thanks. Have a good summer continued.

Great video love it

Nice View, wonderful Union Square, and the Grand Hyatt is the big building across from the room.

I love that you let SF speak for itself, well done!

bla bla bla

This one must not have a mate - they always travel in pairs. Sad!

Awesome, great little close-up.

One of my favorite parts of one of my favorite cities. Thanks for this authentic, well-shot impression of being there!

HI Perry, I message you a few months back regarding the possibility of using your video in our new documentary series. If you could get back to me at emma.houghton-brown@pioneertv.com that would be brilliant. Thank you, Emma

Great place and Music. Thanks!

Is this the same Perry that worked at Enrico's in 1975 and would wear the beret and the bandana around his neck? Man, I miss our chats! How are you? Do you remember Ron Danko? I still owe you $6 for "gas" (speed ;D).

Great detail.

The one at 2:02 reminds me of Liam Neeson.

Usain bolt :D

I live in SF as well. One of the best cities ever. =)

I was just there last week. It was Awesome. Lots to see little time. Will be back again soon. :)

there's a plaque in that park that tells the story of two homeless dogs that were faithful to each other and were famous in the neighborhood - about 100 years ago. Does anyone know that story or the names of the dogs?

I love this city. Cant wait to get back.

I love this.
