San Francisco's history shaped it into one of the most vibrantly dynamic and cultural cities in the US.

San Francisco has been through so many magnanimous events and has been influenced by so many different minds through varying times. Every part of the city has a story to tell; from Chinatown, and Japantown, to the Mission and the Haight; from the Painted Ladies on Steiner Street to Coit Tower on Telegraph Hill; from the Presidio and the Wharf to Alcatraz and Market Street, there are stories of dramatic events and corruption, stories of disasters and plagues, of wars and riots that have all contributed to shaping this amazing corner of the world.

Although times have not always been kind to this city and its inhabitants, there is one thing that has always persisted, that has helped this small eclectic city recover time and time again, and that’s that people simply fall in love.

Be it the majestic fog that rolls in from the Bay almost every single day, or the salty crisp air, or the refreshing melting pot of people it serves up, or its amazing ability to intertwine city life with nature, or its proximity to and abundance of coastlines, whatever it is that draws people here, that steals their heart, is a powerful force that keeps the city vibrant and alive.
