Potrero Hill Rec Center, 23rd and Arkansas Streets, with a view of downtown. Mid 1990s.

This is the best place in the City to play pickup basketball; the excellent indoor courts were built partly with money donated by O.J. Simpson, who grew up in the neighborhood and hung out here as a kid. (An interesting 2004 novel, Winners, by Eric Martin passes through this site too, and gives an unusually insightful account of life in San Francisco's Sunset district and the Potrero Hill projects during the dot-com boom of 1999-2001.)
