Having been to Union Square the previous year we knew what to expect and weren’t let down. Well kept area and very good shopping.

Another October Visit We were staying just at the edge of Union Square for some meetings for my wife, in October, and I had the opportunity to explore the Square again. Much of the construction, which I had last encountered, was done, though not all of it. The corner of Stockton and Geary Streets were still a mess, but less so, than previously. Union Square had nice new plantings, and the existing trees seemed to be in full leaf, and looking healthy. On this trip, there was not a concert, or event, and just folk sitting in the sun, and taking a break from their day. It looked like the two restaurants/coffee shops had reopened, and the bicycle concession, near Geary and Powell was open too.

Union Square is the city center which has quite a lot of good shopping options. There are many hotels and restaurants in the vicinity. I didn't see as many homeless people as I had feared (most of them were along Market). The square isn't a beautiful sight to behold. Just a nice place to watch people go by either living their lives or vacationing like you and I. Chinatown isn't too far and deserves a visit.…

I like going to Union Square, sometimes for events, sometimes just to go, sit, relax, people watch, and then move on to whatever is next.
