The Gold Rush of 1849 americanized San Francisco from a Mexican province . The population ballooned to 100,000 +. Things were chaotic. Derelict ships cluttered the harbor abandoned by their crews. Men left their wives, workers left their jobs. San Francisco's two newspapers closed as staff left . Everyone was infected with gold rush fever. What excitement. What energy. What a beginning !

This same energy can be felt today in the night clubs, bars & on the (surf ) breakers!
