I don’t know anyone who couldn’t love this map. It still lists CC as “Army,” which people that are not “fucking transplants” that are “ruining MY city” tell me is what “real” San Franciscans call it. What that incoherent sentence meant was “this map is legit.” Sex Pigeon provides additional commentary.
Also, Oakland!

I bought this map a bunch of years ago and hung it proudly in apartments far from San Francisco. People were always surprised how little SF was built up, and I just let them believe that.
They make a whole line of “3-D” maps that are readily available in map-selling stores. (I got mine at a crappy bookstore at the airport.)
As for saying Army Street, I do think slipping is OK (hey, I grew up a few blocks from there) but CC is just too great of a man to forget to name. But natives do own the right to slip, like they own the right to say Frisco (sorry, Herb). Just sayin’.
Army St was a stupid name anyway. Even my 6 year old self thought so.
Funny how Army stuck but Navy didn’t. I feel like that was right near there (26th St?), but can’t remember exactly…
