Want to walk through history? On the first Sunday of every month at 11 a.m.<br />
<strong>Potrero</strong> Hillers Sina Ghaemmaghami and Natalie Wisniewski meet fellow amateur<br />
historians at the corner of 18th and Tennessee streets for a free walking tour of<br />
Dogpatch. <strong>The</strong> tour introduces newcomers and visitors – and even long-time<br />
residents – to the neighborhood’s past. See the Victorian Pelton workers’ cottages,<br />
built from blueprints published in local newspapers in the 1880s; find out<br />
where the lost neighborhood of Irish Hill was located; and learn about the roots<br />
of San Francisco’s pornography industry. <strong>The</strong> tour is one of more than 60 free<br />
neighborhood walks given through San Francisco City Guides, a project of the San<br />
Francisco Public Library. Find out more at www.sfcityguides.org, or just come to<br />
the next tour!<br />
