Marina District

The Marina District is an affluent, picturesque neighborhood of San Francisco, California. The area is bounded to the east by Van Ness Ave, on the west by Lyon Street and the Presidio, on the south by Filbert St. The neighborhood sits on the site of the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition, staged after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake to celebrate the reemergence of the world class city. The grounds for this world's fair were created from a former lagoon on landfill. Aside from the Palace of Fine Arts ("POFA"), all other buildings were demolished to make an upscale residential neighborhood.
