The Mission Revisited
For those of you looking for an unusual tour of the city, El Corazón de la Missión gives visitors a different look at one of San Francisco's coolest neighborhoods.
A Mission district resident for the past 15 years, Guillermo Gómez-Peña, a "writer, border activist, performance provocateur, reverse anthropologist, and NPR commentator," has scripted and narrated this 80-minute tour to take you deep into the heart of the Mission. From Dolores Park to Clarion Alley and the 24th Street Corridor, ride shotgun with Gómez-Peña as he honors the Mission’s ghosts, from fallen labor leaders of the 1930s to testosterone-driven low-riders of the 1980s, and celebrates the ever-evolving social, cultural and political sensibilities of his favorite neighborhood in San Francisco.
