San Francisco’s Piedmont Business District extends from the Pleasant Valley Avenue to the MacArthur Boulevard of Oakland. In comparison to some of the culturally diverse San Francisco districts, Piedmont emerges as one of the most eclectic neighborhoods.
There are many narrow side streets that should not be shunned because of the chaotic appearance. Instead, you should visit them for some unique shopping opportunities. The best time to explore the Piedmont is during the evenings. You would be well advised to visit the:
Mountain View Cemetery
5000 Piedmont Avenue
The name of a cemetery might make you feel apprehensive about visiting it, but this is not a conventional San Francisco cemetery. In fact, it is now regarded as a must-visit among Oakland sites in the Bay Area of San Francisco. It is like an urban, contemporary historic site that houses the graves of infamous criminals like Charles Crocker and the mausoleum exhibits the lifetime of these crime heroes.
Glen Echo Park
Location: extend from the south of Panama Court to the Montell Street.
You can combine visiting the Glen Park along with a shopping trip in Monte Vista Avenue. It is situated in one of the most scenic of urban San Francisco streets, spilling with modern-day houses on either side. The Park has a generous sprinkling of oak saplings, willows and ferns to create an exotic, green-covered creek. Those who are fascinated by the natural sciences should investigate the wide variety of grasses and native shrubs that are found here.
A trip to the Park can be planned along with visiting the Piedmont Yoga Studio on 3966 Piedmont Avenue for which you can use the BART services or simply walk down yourself. The studio can be used to educate yourself on the latest of yoga trends and buy San Francisco’s latest range of health goodies.
