Joel Pomerantz volunteered to take over our November 15th spot (Laura Cunningham had to cancel, but we hope to reschedule her for next year). Joel , our local nature historian, will share a dozen or more secret windows into San Francisco’s natural history and infrastructure such as whether Twin Peaks were always, or will always be, twins. Find out how City Hall was designed, then redesigned, to withstand quakes, why the Highway One tunnel through the Presidio isn’t really a tunnel, and of course, Joel’s main research, a little SF water history.
Joel is a writer and educator who has been delighting in the discovery of the hidden nooks and crannies of SF’s past and present. He’s spoken with us a couple times in the past (on underground streams and the history of transportation in Golden Gate Park). You can learn more about him on his website: http://www.joelpomerantz.com/
