Legendary Locals who Contributed to Three San Francisco Neighborhoods
“Author Lorri Ungaretti … captures a rich history of what was once heralded as the “western desert of San Francisco.” Ungaretti rediscovers the stories of the heroes, famous (Barbara Eden, Johnny Mathis, Ansel Adams) and infamous (Anton LaVey), who turned a bleak section of San Francisco into a vibrant, colorful, and thriving multicultural community… .
