San Francisco: The drive

If you’ve been thru San Francisco, this sign should seem familiar.

Originally planned as a driving promotion for the 1939 Golden Gate International Exposition, the 49 Mile Scenic Drive [map] passes thru all the visual highlights and lowlights of The City. Rex May is credited with designing the iconic signs – for more dope on the drive, check out this handy guidebook.

And Annie Galvin of 3 Fish Studios made a big splash last year with her multicolored acrylic paintings, also available as nifty postcards (seen above).
