Athens Avalon Greenspace 99 steps plaque San Francisco's Excelsior District 20200407_175110 cwS10e C4
I made this photo while standing at the base of the Athens Avalon Greenspace three blocks from our home in San Francisco Excelsior District. There are many hidden and historic staircases throughout San Francisco's hilly 49 square miles. The 99 steps of the now Athens Avalon Greenspace are a childhood memory. The area used to be wooden stairs along a steep hillside, devoid of any but wild vegetation. Over the years the stairs and railing has been upgraded several times and the hill was terraced with retaining walls in preparation for the planting of the Greenspace. I always counted 100 steps, but the official plaque states 99 steps. I shot this using the camera on my Samsung S10e cell phone that I carried in lieu of my Canon for a few weeks after the pandemic lockdown orders in our fair city by the bay.
