Carol: yes, those are the streets. The Powell St. cable cars still run in front of the St Francis, and about a block farther next to the Sir Francis Drake hotel.

David's and Solomon's seem to be gone. Family always liked to go to Solomon's after a show at the Curran, waiting for the rush traffic to get out of the Mason-O'Farrell garage. David's was always too crowded and too expensive for our tastes (and my parents' budget). In the 1960s, one did not walk from the theater to Market Street, nor did one ride the streetcar, at night. Even assuming that the bus up the hill from Castro was running (usually, it shut down at about 8 or 9 PM).
