Contribute to the Leathertown Walking Tour

Imagine walking around South of Market San Francisco with your phone, alone or with a friend.

As you walk, you can read or listen to stories of the Miracle Mile, the Valley of the Kings, the bars and clubs of Folsom Street.

As you pass important locations, the phone alerts you, and describes the buildings that once were here.

It shows you photos and videos.

Buttons in the app invite you to explore deeper:

See ads for the bathhouses and invitations to the parties,

Read mini-essays about the notable folk who lived and worked and played here;

Learn of their clubs and organizations, their businesses and celebrations, their customs and culture.

Discover Leathertown past.

And at the same time, explore Leathertown Present.

Find descriptions of, directions to, and links for the many current bars, clubs, and other venues and businesses.

Get links to active organizations, worthy non-profits, fetish and fraternal clubs, educational programs, and more.

And as you are listening to this free app, and exploring its “myths and memories” section, imagine you hear your own words – maybe your own voice – telling an amusing factoid or recalling a precious experience, or sharing your own personal discoveries in Leathertown.
