<dr.jd> it is an interesting historical footnote that the presidio and the mission were the first parts of the entire bay area to be settled by white men -- the mission as a religious center, and the presidio as a military encampment. together they marked the northernmost tip of the spanish colonial territory.
<dr.jd> and now, the mission is locked in an epic battle between gentrification and slipping deeper into slumminess, while the presidio has been colonized by the entertainment industry.
<dr.jd> thank you, drive through.
