Some views you have to shoot for the love of shooting them. #california street down #NobHill is exactly such a location. A friend of mine was here six days earlier, but he couldn't hang around. When traveling. Get out and walk. Discover new places. Rediscover old places in surprising ways. Be one with the journey! #sanfran #onlyinsf #onlyinsanfrancisco #sanfranciscoborn #citybythebay #visitsanfrancisco #cali #sf #sanfrancisco #cablecar #streetcar #trolley #railway #infrastructure #masstransit #masstransportation #skyline #bridge #bridgeview #oaklandbaybridge #baybridge #hills #travel #travelphotography #tourism #mustsee #getoutthere #gosomewhere (at Nob Hill, San Francisco) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgNXc8XP3p1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“A taste of Paris at the crest of Nob Hill.” The Chambord, a Beaux-Arts style apartment building, was designed in 1921 by self-taught architect James Francis Dunn who died before its completion. The elegantly appointed apartments include oval dining rooms and hidden storage. A basement kitchen once provided meals for tenants. The Chambord was used as a location for the classic 1950 film-noir, D.O.A. By Director Rudolph Maté. By 1960 the Chambord had lost all of its exterior detailing in a modernization attempt. In the 1970s the Chambord was slated to be demolished but a huge public effort saved the building by registering it as a San Francisco Historical Landmark as well as listing it in the National Register of Historic Places. In the early '80s the Chambord was restored. San Francisco Architect Cathy Simon used Dunn's original scheme, and emulated detailing from other Dunn buildings, to produce a Chambord that was as spectacular as the original. The apartments are small but exquisite with oval living rooms, balconies, and fine woodwork. The building has 11 apartments. The Chambord Penthouse is owned and was remodelled by Interior designer Candace Barnes of Candace Barnes Design. Chambord Apartments, 1298 Sacramento Street, Nob Hill, San Francisco, California.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Scott McKenzie, the singer-songwriter best known for his association with John Phillips and the 1967 Summer of Love anthem “San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair),” the sonic tract that called 1000s of young people to California.

Phillips (who played on the track with The Wrecking Crew) wrote the song to appease authorities concerned that hippies would overrun the Bay Area for the Monterey Pop Festival. Peace and love prevailed. The song has been used in several films and was a theme for the Prague Spring Czech uprising in 1968. That same year, McKenzie’s next Top 40 hit “Like an Old Time Movie” (also written and played by Phillips) segued with McKenzie writing “What About Me” for Anne Murray (her first hit single).

Like many artists circa 1960, McKenzie morphed out of doo-wop and became a folkie, joining the New York folk scene that beget The Mamas & The Papas. Phillips initially invited McKenzie to join that group but he declined, saying he didn’t want “the pressure.” Years later McKenzie joined a road version of The Mamas & The Papas in 1986. Concurrently, the Phillips-McKenzie team joined Mike Love and Terry Melcher to create the huge Beach Boys hit “Kokomo.”

The evergreen “San Francisco” remains McKenzie’s best-known work (he passed from Guillain-Barre syndrome in 2010). Periodically I dabbled with the song, dirty demo-ing a grunge-y Iggy Pop-like update: https://johnnyjblairsingeratlarge.bandcamp.com/track/san-francisco-be-sure-to-wear-flowers-in-your-hair-demo-remastered-2020

HB and RIP Scott.
