Union Square, San Francisco

Another post for the Crowds category is the packed Union Square in San Francisco. I have no idea why crowds seem to only form in San Franciso. I also have no idea what all those people are doing there?
Thanks: JVM
Crowds gather in San Francisco for a pot-smoking, bush-bashing good time. It’s the way of the land.
Not from around here, eh? Bush bashing and pot smoking don’t tend to happen in Union Square, you’d more likely find that in Delores Park or along the traditional protest march routes from either the Castro or the Powell Street Cable Car turnaround along Market Street to Civic Center.
With what looks to be little foot traffic filling the surrounding streets this is more likely one of the seemingly weekly art fairs in Union Square full of people selling pictures and paintings of the Golden Gate Bridge, Marin Headlands, or whatever else the tourists will buy (OK to be fair sometimes there is some good or original art and photography mixed in).
Come on, haven’t u eve had un spliff in union square?
share it with the fashionistas!
Definitely a lot of crowds in San Francisco caught in the photos, with a football game at Candlestick Park, the Castro Street Fair, and a concert at Speedway Meadow in Golden Gate Park all showing up. But these were also clues – the picture was taken on a Sunday afternoon (I think either Oct. 5, 2003 or Oct. 6, 2002, based on other clues).
The average Sunday afternoon in SF does have lots of things to do. Part of what makes the Bay Area so great.
I have been there when my Postal Union had a convention in San Francisco, and we gathered there to support a strike at some hotel downtown
Where did they all go?!?! 🙂
