There is no doubt that Dolores is gorgeous. Its hilly streets are well-maintained and Mission Dolores church is beautiful. Dolores park is a place where many people gather to play tennis, sunbathe or watch live music in the summer. There is a play area for kids, though both times I brought my kids to Dolores park, I was harassed in some way. The first time a stoner came up to me and asked me if I wanted to smoke. The second time a guy that looked like he just got out of the loony bin stared me down and started yelling some freakishly weird stuff. So, yeah, it's a pretty place, but also a gathering spot for a whole bunch of crazies.
