Slashing diagonally across San Francisco, Market Street intersects virtually every street in the downtown area. Traffic flows in from the north, the west, and even from the southeast; in many cases, all three intersect Market at the same point! One-way streets and NO TURNS signs make it difficult to get off of Market once you've entered it.
Once nicknamed "The Slot," it has traditionally been viewed as the dividing line between the "haves" of the affluent northern neighborhoods, and the "have-nots" to the south. Whether or not that's still true, Market remains the busiest, most eclectic street in San Francisco.
Every era of San Francisco architecture is well represented on Market, with brand new skyscrapers standing alongside still-beautiful buildings past their 100th birthday. Every strata of society can be found as well, from millionaires to the homeless and everyone in between.
