The Castro Crime Map

This is the crime map for my neighborhood beat. The Castro has generally been a safe neighborhood for 30 years.In fact most of the crimes that occurs in the neighborhood range from disturbances, vandalism and assaults. The Castro is still probably one of the best areas to raise a family.

PS: Click on the map or drag it down to get a better view of where I placed the thumb tacks.

Cliff's Variety Pictures

Here are some old photographs of Cliff's Variety from the late 50s to early 60s, courtesy of co-owners Martha and Ernest Asten. I figured some of the photojournalism students and our professor might get a kick out of it.
