Walking the streets of San Francisco

March 19, 2014 by Claudia Long 5 Comments

There’s walking the streets and street-walking, right? Last year I took the Dasheill Hammett’s San Francisco walking tour with the magnetic Don Herron. We peeked into John’s Grill (home of the Maltese Falcon) and saw the very spot where Sam Spade’s partner was shot…in the fictional real world.

We got to talking, and I told him about my book. He said he’d mention me in a blog post someday. Well check it out! http://www.donherron.com/?p=6082

Take the tour. It’s $20 and wear your walking shoes. After all, if you’re going to walk #thestreetsofSanFrancisco you’d better be able to walk up hill!

      Thanks, Eleanor! Love the idea that Dashiel Hammett could have been my friend. I like to imagine myself back in San Francisco, 100 years ago…
