Meet other local people who are interested in walking for fitness and in learning about San Francisco's history, including its movie history. This walking group is unique. We go on many different long urban walks that vary greatly in distance, stair climbing, and amount of history information. Our routes are well planned with good restroom stops properly spaced, and we go to the best areas. Though our walks are long we walk at a leisurely pace and enjoy the scenery. We always take roll and if we have more than 20 people we give all a name tag. Attendance is usually unlimited and has ranged from 2 to 71. We keep our group together. Walks are free. Kids & cameras are very welcome. Dogs & other pets are not welcome. Also, we will occasionally visit science and nature places.
EARTHSHAKING NEWS, November 9th: (Photo above is our group at our most recent walk.) Our last walk had an attendance of 71 which breaks our previous record of 66. We now have 3 walks scheduled. The first one is "A Private Tour Inside Oakland's Giant Paramount Theatre." See all 3 walks below:

We did this walk and tour of the Paramount Theatre only one time before, October 10th, and it was the first time for me too. It is even better than I had imagined. This 3040 seat theatre built in 1931 is an official USA National Landmark! There are only 135 National Landmarks in California, and none of the others are a theatre. The Paramount is a dual purpose movie theater and stage theatre. Read more
