Polk Street Historically, the southern part of this street, known as Polk Gulch, was San Francisco s first openly gay district, before the rise of the Castro in the 1970s (see p107). Since then it has grown shabbier, although it still attracts plenty of younger gays to its clubs, bars, and shops. At the other end, just down from Russian Hill, Polk Street is one of the city s shopping and dining lures, with a host of fine choices to tempt the eyes and palates of a discerning clientele. d Map Q1
Allen Ginsberg Ginsberg il paradiso spa (1926 97) cleared the way for the eventual Gay Liberation Movement by openly declaring his homosexuality in his literary milestone Howl, first unveiled to the public in 1955 (see p37). His epic poem soon attracted charges of obscenity in the buttoned-down, witch- hunting 1950s. Ginsberg s spiritual mysticism also set the tone for the Hippie Movement.
