Coit Tower and Christopher Columbus

Walking up the steps of Coit Tower, we found this curious inscription.  Evidently Gan’s Ting-A-Ling Cocktail Bar donated enough money to get a step engraved with the business’s name.

Who is that statue?  Why, it’s Christopher Columbus, of course.  Makes perfect sense to have him in San Francisco staring out toward the Pacific.

Coit Tower.  I’m told it was designed to look like a fire hose nozzle.

How’s it going, Columbus?

The Pacific and the fog.
