The Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco

Jeez, what a pile. I dote on that place. The detailing

is so wry and fantastic. Maybeck is one of my favorite

architects. The place... if you can call it a place...

is some kind of psychogeographic locus of

San Franciscan spirit.

And right now it is *seething with open access

wi-fi.* Really, no kidding.
