Published since 2005. San Francisco is a city that belongs to the people of the world. Hence this blog has a global focus. The name "Sam Spade's San Francisco" refers to an exciting era in the City's history, the time of Dashiell Hammett's fictional gumshoe and San Francisco character, Sam Spade. My name is Tom Dunn and I edit the blog. I'm not as exciting as Sam Spade, but I am definitely a San Francisco character.Contact or on Twitter -- Search blog below.

Cinco de Mayo in San Francisco 2008
Once upon a time, there was a beautiful lagoon nestled at the base of a magical valley where the sun always shined and peace, love and understanding reigned supreme. In the summer of 1776, a Mission was established here and the lagoon was named after Our Lady of Sorrows --- Dolores. Today, Dolores Park is near the long-lost lagoon.
