15/05/2008 18:25:54 -07:00

It's one of those streets that makes me wonder whether San Francisco isn't just a party and food town with a few residential bits thrown in to make sure there are people to do the partying and eating. Great food and nightlife, as it should be considering they named a region of the city after this s...

There is activity bustling along the Castro street. On every light post you will come across rainbow flags.

Noisy hyper gay living

Castro street is infamous for being a haven for the gays. This street is particularly for gay men and is not really that interesting or appealing to lesbians. This st is as gay as you can get and it is often a tourist trap. Walking down castro st is really like having a 24 hour gay pride parade....

Shopping and more

This street has a lot of great shopping, especially for those who want to have their own style, not just wear what they advertise on the red carpet. there are a lot of unique shops for clothes and there is a big movie theater in the middle. Great street to visit.

Fun For A While

28/04/2008 14:05:03 -07:00

Castro Street can be great. It can also get really old really fast. There is, no doubt, a lot of personality to Castro Street. There are some fun, wacky stores and posh clothing boutiques. But there is also a lot of superficiality going on there. It's basically the gay man's playground. Like I said,...

What can I say about Castro Street in merely a few paragraphs? There is so much going on in San Francisco’s famous street that it would be really hard to keep from writing pages!
