Civic Center, San Francisco

San Francisco's Civic Center is an area of a few blocks north of the intersection of Market Street and Van Ness Avenue that contains many of the city's largest government and cultural institutions. It has two large plazas and a number of buildings in classical architectural style. Its beauty is marred, however, by a reputation for being one of the more popular parts of the city for the homeless and the drug addicted due to its proximity to the Tenderloin. It is the locale of many rallies, demonstrations, and festivals.
