ddavis Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 What kind of stuff do you like to do? The bay area is a great place to do outdoor stuff. Hiking, surfing, kayaking, moutain biking, sailboating, etc. Then you got your normal tourist stuff, like golden gate, pier 39, lombard st., etc.. Haight/Ashbury has a cool shopping strip for the younger crowds. Union Square has more of your normal shopping stuff like fashion, malls, etc.. Plenty of stuff to do around here, so guess it just depends what your looking for. Also theres napa/sonoma for wine or berkeley if you want to go hang out with the hippies, ha. You out here on business? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axis008 Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I'm only slightly familiar with SF.. So.. In addition to Haight/Ashbury and Union Square shopping areas, you can also visit Ghirardelli Square for some delicious ice cream and then go to Fisherman's Wharf nearby for some fresh clam chowder (or vice versa since dinner should come before dessert.. lol). Some popular landmarks are Cliff House, Coit Tower, Golden Gate Bridge/Park, Lombard Street. Those are only a few I can remember off the top of my head. -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bbc84 Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 i had people tell me to go get some clam chowder, sushi, seafood. I kind of want to see if I can find some car shops, maybe i can buy something for the LGT and carry it back instead of haveing to ship stuff. I like fishing and stuff, but i dont think i can bring my rod over from chicago. I want to stop by some pet shops as well since im into aquariums. anyone got recomendations?

axis008 Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Car shop.. There's SpeedElement which is popular in the Bay Area for Evos and STIs. I know they sell Legacy stuff. Not sure what they will have in stock, though. No clue where it is exactly either. -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subiedoo415 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 If you like aquariums (pet shops) you should check out 6th Ave Aquarium - it might throw you at first because it looks like a flower shop, then there's this huge back room with probably the biggest assortment I've seen in the city. Their site doesn't do the place much justice but the index of what they carry gives pretty good idea, here's the link: http://www.6thaveaquarium.net/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
