Castro

 

CastroSteep streets and brightly painted Victorian houses give this upper Market "Gay Mecca" neighborhood that distinct San Francisco look. The Castro is a series of imaginative boutiques, bookstores and bars. Novelty items abound in shops at the end of Market Street between 16th and 17th Streets. The heart of the area is 18th and Castro Streets. Built in 1922 the Castro Theater, 429 Castro Street, survives as one of the last grand movie palaces, featuring revivals and pre-film concerts on the mighty Wurlitzer. The Names Project at 584 Castro Street, houses the AIDS memorial quilt. Each June, the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Pride Celebration Parade draws nearly 500,000 participants and spectators. The Castro Street Fair unfolds each October.
