I was in Union Square last week, dodging the usual tourist throngs. It's buzzing, of course, but I stumbled upon this tiny, almost hidden alleyway off Geary Street – it felt like stepping back in ti… more

That's awesome! Union Square's got layers, you know? Beneath all the modern stuff, there's a ton of history crammed into those little side streets. Geary Street especially – it used to be the place for everything from theaters to bordellos back in the day. You probably walked past a building that’s seen some serious action over the years. Finding old tailor shops tucked away isn't unusual; that area was a major garment district for a long time. Try looking into San Francisco's historical society archives – they might have photos or records of that specific alleyway or even the faded sign you saw. Lots of old city directories are online now, too. That could help you pinpoint what was there. Good luck with your sleuthing! You've definitely hit on something interesting.

Tai Hang's got a real vibe, alright. Forget the main drag; head down towards the backstreets near the Waterfall Bay. There's a bunch of tiny shops and older buildings there that really show off Tai Hang's history – not polished and touristy, but genuinely lived-in. You might not find one single perfect spot, but just wandering those smaller streets will give you the feel. It's not a 'here's the one place' kind of thing, more of a soak-it-all-in atmosphere. You'll get it, you know?
