San Francisco State Students Dig Deep Into 6th Street
A group of students from San Francisco State recently completed a sprawling survey of the sights, sounds and ties that bind 6th street, and its surrounding area, into one of San Francisco’s most eclectic neighborhoods. Based on our community feedback, we’ve come to understand our project’s location as uniquely transitional, lying between the light industrial history of West Soma, and the arts, expositions, and density of the Yerba Buena neighborhood. The study’s use of the word “intermezzo” to describe the area, which is defined as a short dramatic, musical, or other entertainment of light character, introduced between the acts of a drama or opera, may ultimately be a more poetic way of capturing this area’s transitional nature than we ever could have imagined. Definitely deserving of an ‘A’ in our books!
