The Full House, House(s)?
A lot of you might remember the house from the sitcom Full House staring Bob Saget and John Stamos, the ex-husband of College 8 alumni Rebecca Romijn - the most famous person to graduate from UCSC (just kidding).
I've lived in San Francisco till I was eighteen years old and I've never been here, Alcatraz, Coit Tower or in a car down Lombard st. These are places that my friends wanted to visit in San Francisco. I'm not a tourist and these things seem to be lost on me.
What many people don't know is that there is no real Full House house but rather a random line of ideal houses in some rich area of the city. Why people want to go take pictures there is lost on me also. That show was terrible. A house in that neighborhood on that street would cost at least 1 million dollars. I'm not joking. I don't even know anyone who lives in that neighborhood. A single father could not provide for a 3 child family and live there. That is probably the richest and whitest neighborhood in SF. The myth of a white-washed, rich and not completely crowded city of San Francisco is encapsulated by Full House.
I live just about here, on 8th ave, across from Star of the Sea elementary school. It doesn't really look anything like Full House does it? Old Fobs smoking on street corners call it china town #2. Not really though, it's just another part of town. The same as every other district- the real San Francisco.
THE WINDMILL
This is a major tourist attraction in SF, the windmill near the cliff house, where people like to take pictures by the garden. Locals, such as myself, know never to go there at night. DO Not Go there at night! It is know for prostitution at night where homely husband businessmen go to the park restroom to have random gay sex. If you saw the Movie Something About Mary, this is where the idea came from. Dudes and hookers get it on over here at night.
CHARLES MANSON's HOUSE
The Beat Movement gave birth to many things. One of them being the mass murderer Charles Mason. He loved to wear flowers in his hair and hang out in the Fillmore. This is his house.
