San Francisco

San Francisco (/sæn frənˈsɪsk/), officially the City and County of San Francisco, is the cultural, commercial, and financial center of Northern California and the only consolidated city-county in California. San Francisco encompasses a land area of about 46.9 square miles (121 km2) on the northern end of the San Francisco Peninsula, which makes it the smallest county in the state. It has a density of about 18,187 people per square mile (7,022 people per km2), making it the most densely settled large city (population greater than 200,000) in the state of California and the second-most densely populated major city in the United States after New York City. San Francisco is the fourth-most populous city in California, after Los Angeles, San Diego and San Jose, and the 13th-most populous city in the United States—with a Census-estimated 2014 population of 852,469. The city and its surrounding areas are known as the San Francisco Bay Area, and are a part of the larger OMB designated San Jose-San Francisco-Oakland combined statistical area, the fifth most populous in the nation with an estimated population of 8.6 million.

San Francisco (1984 typeface)

San Francisco was one of the original bitmap typefaces for the Apple Macintosh computer released in 1984. It was designed by Susan Kare to mimic the ransom note effect and was used in early Mac software demos and Apple company fliers. An official TrueType version was never made, and San Francisco was rendered obsolete with the arrival of System 7.

Saint Francis, by Hank Gillette, is a free TrueType font of similar design sometimes used as a surrogate on non-Apple systems.

    Theme from San Francisco

    "Theme from San Francisco," also known as "San Francisco," is a song from the 1936 American film San Francisco. It was written by Bronislaw Kaper and Walter Jurmann, with lyrics by Gus Kahn. It is sung by Jeanette MacDonald six times in the film, and becomes an anthem for the survivors of the 1906 earthquake.

    The opening lyrics are as follows:
    "San Francisco, open your Golden Gate
    You'll let nobody wait outside your door
    San Francisco, here is your wanderin' one
    Saying I'll wander no more. "

    The song is now a popular sentimental sing-along at public events such as the city's annual earthquake commemoration. It is one of two official city songs, along with "I Left My Heart in San Francisco."

    Judy Garland included the song to her concert repertoire, with a new introduction that starts, "I never will forget Jeanette MacDonald; just to think of her it gives my heart a pang. I never will forget, how that brave Jeanette, just stood there in the ruins and sang. A-a-a-and sang..." She opened a late 1950s concert at the Cow Palace with her version. It was so well and tumultuously received that she sang it again as an encore. In her later career, her interpretation grew darker. She parodies Jeanette's happy performance gradually becoming more serious, climaxing at, "but the only bridge that's a real gone bridge is the bridge across the bay," often sung with desperation near the point of collapse.

    San Francisco (2014 typeface)

    San Francisco is a neo-grotesque sans-serif typeface made by Apple Inc. It was first released to developers on November 18, 2014. It was used first as the system typeface of the Apple Watch, and later replaced Helvetica Neue as the system typeface of OS X and iOS with OS X El Capitan and iOS 9. It is also the system typeface of tvOS, starting with the 4th generation Apple TV. It is the first new typeface designed at Apple in nearly 20 years.

    Variants

    The San Francisco typeface has two variants: "SF" for OS X, iOS, and tvOS; and "SF Compact" for watchOS. The main difference is that the sides of letters with round shapes, such as o, e, and s, are round in SF, whereas they are flat in SF Compact. The flat sides allow the letters to have more space between them, thereby making the text more legible at small sizes, which is particularly important for the Apple Watch. Both SF and SF Compact each have two optical sizes: "display" for large and "text" for small text. Compared to display, the letters in text have larger apertures and more generous letter-spacing. The operating system automatically chooses the display optical size for sizes of at least 20 points, and text otherwise.

    San Francisco 4th and King Street Station

    San Francisco 4th and King Street or 4th and King station (previously called 4th & Townsend) or Caltrain Depot is the north end of the Caltrain commuter rail line to the San Francisco Peninsula and Santa Clara Valley, and is a major area transit hub. It is next to a Muni Metro light rail station connecting to downtown San Francisco and Bay Area Rapid Transit.

    Overview

    All 96 weekday trains and all 32 (Saturday) and 28 (Sunday) trains stop there. The station is in the Mission Bay/China Basin area, bordered on the north by Townsend Street, east by 3rd Street, west by 4th Street and south by King Street. It opened on June 21, 1975, replacing a station built in 1914 at 3rd and Townsend, one block away.

    The Caltrain Downtown Extension project to the rebuilt Transbay Terminal includes the construction of an underground 4th and King station. The underground station will be next to the current station on the Townsend side. Several platforms on the current station will be retained as the terminal for non-electric trains, such as trains to Union City across Dumbarton Rail Bridge and trains to Gilroy.

    San Francisco

    by: Staggered Crossing

    Heading out of old San Francisco
    Passing by the Golden Gate bridge
    Left my woman and child there stranded
    Still don't know why I did
    It was late in the evening
    And something just felt right
    You can run around this old town
    Keeping it together even if don't feel right
    Everytime I go out on the evening
    I seem to be losing my head
    Heading out of old San Francisco
    It's something I just kinda did
    Everytime I go gambling my life away
    Thing just turn out to be peaches-and-cream
    There'll be good times and bad time around here
    Heading out of old San Francisco
    Heading down Mexico way
    Got my jacknknife, my handbag and six string
    And I'll soon be on my way
    It was late in the evening
    And something just felt right
    You can run around this old town
    Keeping it together even if don't feel right
    Everytime I go out on the evening
    I seem to be losing my head
    Heading out of old San Francisco
    It's something I just kinda did
    Everytime I go gambling my life away
    Thing just turn out to be peaches-and-cream
    There'll be good times and bad time around here
