Frisco Bound
From the Gold rush to the tech boom, people have come to San Francisco from all directions in search of fortune. The resulting diversity has given rise to creativity and exploitation, resistance and innovation. The subcultures that formed, from Chinatown to the Castro district, from Haight-Ashbury to Angel Island and Alcatraz, themselves drew more people to San Francisco, making the city famous for its cultural innovation and political activism.
