on in its aisles. The Street now features such landmarks as The Grove, a trendy cafe that the online website Friendster was based upon. Moscone Recreation Center sports the largest children's park in the city and also has tennis courts, basketball courts, and a volleyball area. It has served as a meeting location for generations of San Francisco natives, and can be seen in several historic films. The slice of land that was the site of the Tower Of Jewels during the 1915 World's Fair was initially named Funston Park. The park was renamed after the assassination of mayor George Moscone as a political payback to the conservative neighborhood activists in the Marina District that opposed Moscone's progressive policies. The Marina Green is a picturesque park adjacent to the boat marina itself, and the San Francisco bay. The wind at the Marina Green frequently exceeds 50 MPH, which lends itself to windsurfing at the nearby East Beach. Schools in the Marina include the Tule Elk Child Development Center and Marina Middle School. Earthquakes Much of the Marina is on landfill (http://gis.abag.ca.gov/website/liq/viewer.htm - click Map of Location, then Search by Zip Code 94123), and is susceptible to liquefaction during strong earthquakes. There are areas in The Marina which are not on landfill. This area is referred to as The Gold Box, bordered by Fort Mason, Octavia St, Lombard St, and Van Ness Avenue. The area is called The Gold Box because of its prime location on sandstone/bedrock geology. Those who live in this area are equidistant from the shops and restaurants of Chestnut St. (Marina), Union St. (Cow Hollow), and Polk St. (Russian Hill). Furthermore, this location is close to Fort Mason, Moscone Recreation Center, and The Marina Safeway. Important structures Marina Safeway. San Francisco's Marina Boulevard Safeway location (the first such modern concept store in June 1959), continues to operate with only minor exterior modifications 40 years after construction. The “Marina” Prototype: A classic piece of architecture named for the first Safeway store so designed, on Marina Boulevard in San Francisco. Hundreds of these remain around the country, including the original. Most have been remodeled and expanded. The Marina Safeway is particularly notable for its singles scene - it is frequently listed as one of the city's best pick-up spots and is affectionately known as the "Dateway." The Exploratorium is a popular tourist destination in the Marina District. The Exploratorium is located at the Palace of Fine Arts and provides an opportunity for patrons to explore the physical sciences in a hands-on fashion.
Sociology Today the neighborhood remains as popular as ever with the post-college crowd, young East Coast professionals, natives of Southern California, and relocated Midwesterners. Most arrived after the 1989 earthquake, when many of the older population left and the area transformed into a hip district for young, successful professionals.
