I grew up i the Fillmore back in the 60's off Golden Gate ave. Went to John Sweat Elementary .. Fillmore was jumping back in those days..lived through the civil riots Chicago Barber Shop was the hang out... Nothing stays the same everything must change..
Ah, the Fillmore! Otherwise known as “Lower Pacific Heights.” I grew up in Cow Hollow in the 1950-1960s just outside the Presidio Main Gate. Mom was from Japan and used to send me on small shopping trips on the Muni to Tokyo Fish Market at Fillmore and Bush. Twenty years later I worked at a small Japanese-English newspaper (6 pages in Japanese with two pages in English). The English section included a classified section. I took and typeset the English classifieds. One day a man called with an Apartment for Rent ad. The apartment meant was in “Lower Pacific Heights.” I asked “Where is that?” since I’d never heard of It. “On Fillmore near Bush,” he answered. Real Estate word games.
I might be able to answer. I was born n raised in the Mission district of SF and I still live in the city. When I was in HS I went to Galileo which is considered a Fillmore school. I also spent a lot of my youth in the Fillmore.
