APOCRYPHAL SAN FRANCISCO
A Walking Tour Presented by L&T Ltd.


San Francisco, CA, November 5, 2005. Skeptics and romantics will
both find something to love about the Apocryphal San Francisco
walking tours presented by L&T Ltd. The free tours will cover the
area around Union Square and focus on lesser known tales from the
turn of the Nineteenth Century. Tours leave at 1:30 pm, Saturday
November 19th, December 3rd, 10th and 17th. All tours meet at the
naval monument in the center of Union Square.

The tours consist of a juicy collection of stories about the
fantastic connections and colorful characters that once roamed San
Francisco. One of the tour guides, Sara Thacher, summarized the
tour as, "a cross between People Magazine and the Weekly World News,
but with more walking . . . It's gossipy and sometimes hard to
believe, but you can't stop listening." The stories on the tour
sometimes push the limits of credibility. When asked directly about
the veracity of a particular story, tour guide Laren Leland replied,
"True or not, it still makes a pretty good story." And at the heart
of it, that's what Apocryphal San Francisco is all about:
storytelling. L&T Ltd. hopes that these tours will provoke a sense
of wonder and astonishment (or bewilderment) about the living history
of the city.


ABOUT L&T LTD: L&T Ltd. is committed to fostering new social
connections by expanding and redefining communities. This is their
first public project in San Francisco.
