"Buen hotel, zona normal pero tienes que atravesar calles llenas de homeless (me he movido siempre en uber)"

" San Francisco is a weird city. Built on the backs of thousands of adventurers, speculators and grifters seeking gold, it’s probably no surprise that the city has always inhabited a space on the edge of American life. exp-player-logo Watch More Top activities to wow out-of-town guests in San Francisco Walking the city today there are a hundred spots of intrigue that tell stories of its bizarre past, but they’re not always easy to find. Searching Google for a list of “the weirdest things in San Francisco” yields some pretty tired results (sorry, wave organ and pretty staircases), so we decided to make our own. From the fortress where someone managed to plunge the city into darkness to the hideous sculpture a rock star defaced, to the strip club where a man was crushed to death while fornicating on a mechanical piano — here’s where San Francisco really gets weird. The mysterious fortress that was the scene of a crime PG&E's Mission substation on Eighth and Mission in San Francisco. PG&E's Mission substation on Eighth and Mission in San Francisco. Sundry Photography/Getty Images The reason the lights went out in San Francisco is locked deep inside the fortress on Eighth and Mission. From the outside, it looks like a windowless prison from a sci-fi thriller, complete with spooky bas-reliefs and tall, sharp pikes. There is one locked door in and out. On Oct. 23, 1997, a little after 6 a.m., someone with a key walked into the PG&E’s Mission substation and manually turned 39 separate control valves, powering down a bank of five transformers. Because the substation powered smaller stations around the city, 126,000 customers from the Bayview to the Richmond lost power. All of downtown was dark. At first, PG&E assumed it was some kind of mechanical failure. But when all automatic causes were ruled out, the company realized the outage could only have been done manually — and purposefully. “What we do know is it is not an accident,” FBI spokesperson George Grotz said the next day. Although the outage lasted less than three hours, the mystery has endured now for decades. Despite its location on a very busy street, the building had no cameras, no motion sensors and no security guard at its one entrance. Seventy-five employees who had keys to the substation were thoroughly vetted by the FBI (destruction of an energy plant is a felony, punishable by up to 10 years in jail). PG&E also looked into any ex-employees who might have a grudge against the company, or merely a desire to see it briefly humiliated. There has never been an arrest or a even suspect in the case. San Francisco police, PG&E and the FBI were all stumped. Whoever committed one of San Francisco's boldest acts of vandalism walked silently away from the castle on the bustling Civil Center intersection, still hiding its saboteur’s secrets today."
