The Powell Mason cable car line ends in the outer portion of North Beach where there is<br />
no beach.<br />
The neighborhood attracted many Italians, Beats, Chinese and really all kinds of<br />
ordinary, artistic, friendly people, and has many sights and places to gather. North Beach<br />
has historically been an Italian neighborhood, and while the area has diversified, many<br />
Italian restaurants, cafès, and ice cream parlors remain. An alleyway off of Columbus<br />
between Kearny and Broadway is named after Jack Kerouac who once lived here and<br />
frequented the renowned (as well as a municipal landmark) City Lights bookstore on the<br />
corner of Columbus and Broadway as well as the numerous coffee shops here. Baseball<br />
legend Joe Dimaggio grew up in the neighborhood and briefly returned to live here with<br />
his wife Marilyn Monroe. Famed progressive trial attorney Tony Serra keeps an office<br />
near the corner of Columbus and Broadway.<br />
It is a somewhat compact layout of three-story buildings painted in light colors dating<br />
from the 1920s when people rebuilt after the earthquake and fire of 1906. The weather is<br />
excellent with gentle, sunny hours between noon, after the morning fog burns off, and<br />
four, before the fog starts rolling back in from the Golden Gate.<br />
The <strong>San</strong> <strong>Francisco</strong> Art Institute is located in the Northern end of North Beach, on Russian<br />
