Carville-by-the-Sea: San Franciscos Streetcar Suburb, by Woody
La Bounty, paints a picture of the
unique history of one of the most
unusual communities in San Francisco. In the mid-1890s, San Francisco transit companies sold their
surplus cars to the public. People
then turned these horse and cable
cars into their homes and developed
a unique bohemian enclave out by
Ocean Beach. Discover the history
of your neighborhood today!

Kelli Stanley is our own Sunset District

resident. She is also the Macavity Awardwinning creator of the Miranda Corbie
series (CITY OF DRAGONS, CITY OF
SECRETS), literary noir novels set in
1940 San Francisco and featuring "one of
crime's most arresting heroines" (Library
Journal). She is also a Bruce Alexander

Hammett. CITY OF GHOSTS is her latest.

"...atmospheric ...captivating ...full of

evocative detail (the scent of Hills Brothers Coffee, the sound of Artie Shaw's
Frenesi'), CITY OF GHOSTS has the
vigor and pace of a terrific Warner Bros.
film noir.
Ms. Stanley brings 1940 San Francisco
to life in flamboyant language, reminiscent at times of such period prose-poets
as radio's Norman Corwin and Bay Area
newspaperman Herb Caen."
