San Francisco Word Search
Forty San Francisco words: the Golden Gate and the Bay Bridge, a cable car climbing Nob Hill, Alcatraz out in the bay, Fishermans Wharf, the fog, a loaf of sourdough, Chinatown, the Painted Ladies and the earthquake of 1906.
The Golden Gate Bridge opened in May 1937 with a main span of 4,200 feet, then the longest in the world, and its color is a shade called International Orange, chosen so ships could see it in the fog. The cable cars have run since 1873, when Andrew Hallidie built a line to spare horses the steep hills. Cars grip a steel cable moving under the street at nine and a half miles an hour, and it is the last system of its kind still working.
The earthquake struck at 5:12 in the morning on April 18, 1906. Fires burned for three days, about 3,000 people died and most of the city had to be rebuilt. Alcatraz was a federal prison from 1934 to 1963 and held Al Capone; no escape was ever confirmed. The Niners are named for the Gold Rush of 1849, when the town grew from about 1,000 people to 25,000 in a year, and the sourdough starter at the Boudin bakery dates from that same year.
