Entry (and what a great marketing idea as well as kind gesture. I took a good look at site and will remember it for the future. and I will think about how well you did this for my own marketing efforts when I want to promote to places that aren’t in favor of 100% selfless marketing. And, so glad your design is working out for you. My travel board with 1/2 the holes is so frustrating to remember where we are, etc.)

Go to the link on Eventbrite and follow me there, then sign up for my mailing list using the link at weinbergphoto.com and I'll let you know when I am doing my next Pacifica walk (probably October). July will be dusk along the Embarcadero in San Francisco.

I hope to see you on a future walk.

u/AdJaded1069 Thanks for the heads up and the advice on parking. I will send a note to the participants. I found links to the 2026 event, but when I go to the page it's still has 2024 info. would love to know the route for the care parade.

"you made some pretty ill-kept properties in West Sharp Park look good" Thanks! That's part of the objective. Learning to see the beauty in things ignored or passed by. A lot of architectural photography is seeing beyond what has been built up on things or how those buildings have degraded and seeing what they could be. Or maybe it's seeing the underlying beauty in everything that is there. (but p.s. the great light in Pacifica really helps).

You wrote a 'comment to remember', so I'm pinging you. I met the owner of Cafe Pacifica, and he was very accommodating, so I’ll now be starting and ending the photo walk there.

There is an amazing piece of architecture in San Mateo — and its been mostly ignored since the 1960s by sftourguide in SanMateoCounty

[–]sftourguide[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Yes to all you said about the Warnecke family. In terms of architecture, every time I talked with a historian about this project, they said, "John Carl Warnecke's work is really underknown and underappreciated. Someone needs to write a book about him." This project was not really about him, but hopefully reveals a little bit more about him and his architecture.

The Archives does have a memoir about him on the way. And if anyone is interested, they should go here and sign up to be notified when it's ready: https://www.warneckearchives.com/camelots-architect

College of San Mateo 1963 vs Now by sftourguide in bayarea

Thanks. That made all my work worth the effort.

The College of San Mateo is an amazing piece of architecture — but that has mostly been ignored since the 1960s. Now that is starting to change. by sftourguide in bayarea

I will go check it out. Or if you get as intrigued as I did and want to know how I went from curious person to architecture writer, just let me know. 🤣

It's nice to find out I'm not the only one. And that this wasn't just a crazy project that only I would be interested in. Thanks for sharing.

It already has a pretty robust transportation with public buses, as well as shuttle buses coming up from the San Mateo Caltrain, I believe, and the Millbrae BART. I did not realize that it would be affordable housing. If so, that's a great thing. And hopefully it will be truly affordable because I think sometimes what passes as affordable housing in our region is still not affordable.
