    I did SF for 6 years. Enough time to watch Google, Facebook and the like, drive rents into the atmosphere. What a beautiful, unique city. Sooo many good memories.

    I've lived in SF for 20 years and never knew those locations. I've been in the Ubisoft building, but didn't know it was the old Rolling Stone building. Thanks so much for showing me around town!

    Excellent video. I didn't know he lived on Parnassus or where the original Rolling Stone office were. Very cool. One correction. The Seal Rock is not where he wrote Fear and Loathing. He wrote it, or at least started it, at a hotel across the street from Santa Anita Race Track in Arcadia, Ca. while he was working on another article about the killing of Ruben Salazar, which is how he met his "attorney"

    I lived in La Honda for 10 years back in the 90's and it still had that vibe the whole time.

    • @BayAreaBabylon415
      @BayAreaBabylon415  4 месяца назад

      I would've loved to have experienced just a taste of that. Hunter described La Honda as the "world capitol of madness!" Please check out my latest video where I visit Ken Kesey's former house in La Honda. I love going up there any chance I get : )

      La Honda is also featured heavily in the book "Electric Koolaide Acid Test" and "Hells Angels".

      La Honda isn’t what it used to be.
      But it also isn’t entirely not what it used to be… ;)

    I know it’s closed but it would have been cool if you’d mentioned 895 O’Farrell st, too. Hunter was the night manager of the Mitchell Brother’s O’Farrell Theater for a short while in the mid 80’s. I worked there for 8 years as I chased the dragon of his words and worked on my own memoir as a sex worker.

    • @BayAreaBabylon415
      @BayAreaBabylon415  5 месяцев назад +1

      Thanks for the feedback. Totally agreed. Was thinking of including O'Farrell Theatre but time ran short. What an interesting, different part of HST's story that must've been; plus, the Mitchell Brother's themselves. Definitely a story there down the pike. But you are correct....it did happen right here, in this Bay Area Babylon. " I worked there for 8 years as I chased the dragon of his words and worked on my own memoir as a sex worker," Mannnnn, now that sounds like a story.

      No, not at all. You can do it right on their website. Pretty convenient.
