“Not a Watercolor” – Night Shot of Sutro Tower – Ten-Second Exposure
Friday, December 21st, 2012In San Francisco, All Roads Lead to Sutro – Remembering a Time When San Francisco NIMBYs Were Quite Tame
Monday, May 16th, 2011Take a look sometime. You’ll see that All Roads Lead to Mount Sutro and its Sutro Tower.

“It is ridiculous to assume the FCC will require the entire tower to be painted with alternate stripes of white and orange.” Wheat declared. It “will doubtless be painted a neutral color consistent with the surroundings,” he assured the Supervisors.”
