San Francisco's Mission District
Dating back to 1776 and the building of Mission Dolores (featured in the
Hitchcock film, "Vertigo"), the Mission District is San Francisco's oldest and
most culturally diverse neighborhood. Home to the City's largest Latin
American population, the Mission is a flamboyant and extroverted place,
magnet for young people, actors, poets, musicians and families alike. Chic
boutiques, ethnic restaurants, sizzling night spots and political bookshops
abound in the Mission, along with cutting-edge theaters and literally dozens
of vibrant murals embracing Hispanic heritage and civil rights. Largely
unknown to the tourist crowd, the sunny, quirky Mission is the cultural
heart of San Francisco, the launching pad for all things new and
alternative. (Watch our 2-minute video preview to see what a typical Dr. Clue program looks and feels like!)
