DESCRIPTION:What: A free, all-ages walking tour (photography encouraged) of San 
 Francisco’s South of Market neighborhood\nWhen: Saturday, July 21, 
 1pm–3pm\nWhere: Tour departs from SOMArts Cultural Center, 934 Brannan 
 St. (between 8th & 9th) at 1pm sharp!\nHow Much: Free, donations gladly 
 accepted in support of SOMArts’ exhibitions & programming\nWhat Else: 
 Please visit http://www.somarts.org/dunes/ and RSVP, space is 
 limited.\nSOMArts Cultural Center and SF Camerawork present a unique 
 opportunity to get to know the hidden history of South of Market. In 
 conjunction with local muralist Susan Greene’s “Bending over 
 Backward” installation (appearing in the exhibition Performing Community, 
 July 6–28 at SOMArts Cultural Center), Chris Carlsson of Shaping San 
 Francisco will lead a free walking tour to help you discover lost layers of 
 history.\nFrom flattened sand dunes, buried wetlands, and a navigable 
 river, to the many uses of SOMA, including slaughterhouses, steel mills, 
 and breweries, Chris will regale participants with stories hidden in 
 today’s landscape. He will reveal what was present in times past and how 
 the physical city came to look the way it does now by way of industrial and 
 neighborhood successions.\nAll who join the tour will be encouraged to ask 
 questions, take photographs and interact critically with the information 
 presented.\nLeaving as a group from SOMArts Cultural Center with four main 
 stops, the tour heads to 8th and Harrison, then to Alameda and Bryant, and 
 then to Mission Bay along the Mission Creek channel, and, finally, back to 
 SOMArts. Tour stops are well-documented with historic photos and there will 
 be plenty of opportunities to snap your own.\nChris Carlsson is a writer,
