Down on flat land and low altitude passed SOMA is the Embarcadero. Its landscape is much different than your typical hilly san francisco side walk, in fact the area looks a great deal like San Diego. If the Bay Bridge wasn't signifying that I was in San Fran I am sure I would have mistaken my location for San Diego.
There are many reasons that the embarcadero reminds me of San Diego. Firstly the sun is shining and it is much hotter than any other part of the city. Second the land is flat and just by the ocean not hundreds of meters above sea level. There are palm trees that trace the outline of the streets reminding you that you are in California, just incase the foggy weather confuses you.
The representation of the signage is also very different from other neighborhoods in the city. In the embarcadero signs for advertising are placed high on the lampposts neat and uniformly. There is no art painted on the walls and on the sidewalk sending a thoughtful message to the people. Instead it is just advertising and direction, a very serious tone.
