I love San Francisco, but when you realize that the Castro Safeway and the Sony Metreon are landmarks, you realize that its a small city. It is the worlds best sleepy seaside town.
One of the two landmarks has some architectural merit, the other is the Metreon, a failed attempt at a French style Mediatek – a multimedia library/art complex.
In the end the Metreon, complete is a shopping mall, and now its being sold to a mall developer.
