San Francisco Fisherman's Wharf Compared to Universal Studios Florida Fishermans Wharf! 4K

[@VileNirus]

Don't know when this was made but it must not have been lately. Aliotos is closed as are almost all the businesses that made the wharf what it used to be. Good job SF democratic Politicians, real nice job.

It’s ALL closed for blocks around the Wharf. Only thing open fir Blocks are 2 souvenir shops! That’s it!

They're sea lions. They used to be considered a menace, but when Pier 39 found tourists liked them, they put out more platforms for them, and now there's always a crowd there. Good video!

Thanks!

The title should read “Don’t come to San Francisco’s fisherman’s wharf” All the marquee restaurants and shops are closed, and it’s rundown and crime ridden, particularly at night…

Hope you get to check out Coit Tower on a clear day . The view from there is spectacular.

[@wshazbot62]

When we went there, peoples windshields were getting smashed in. Because parking limit is like 20mins, some would get windshields smashed because they stayed longer. The elevator is closed more than it’s open sadly, but I agree it has an awesome view.

Been there a lot, I live 70 miles north. It’s so not what it used to be, I’d rather go to Chinatown in SF. Or if I’m going to California, I’d go to Yosemite. If you’re a nature lover, I haven’t been to SF in a couple years. But I have family that go there for events like concerts. I used to eat at bubba gumbs on pier 39, yumm miss it. Anyway, thanks for a minor flashback of the city 😊

That city is my favorite! As I was growing up we would go there at least 3xs if not 4xs a year! So many wonderful memories! I'm so glad you did this video! My husband and I spent 2 days of our honeymoon there. And yes as a young child I was terrified of Laughing Sal! She used to stand in the window of a fun house. I used to have a photo of my sister and I when I was five and she was seven. It was one of 4 pictures from a photo booth. Also watching the many street performers! Oh the memories! And I can't forget the bread bowl of clam chowder!mmmmmm! My favorite!

[@riproar11]

"This is awesome!" Yeah, there are no people there anymore! How is that awesome? Notice that you didn't film Pier 30 that is full of closed shops that sell tourist junk.

[@thecoolestdad]

Micah the vibe in San Fran is so much different than in LA when it comes to the 60s music scene. The sound was entirely different between the two cities. I love the music from the 60s and how it evolved into the folk/rock sound of LA and the psychedelic sound of San Fran.

[@norbu_la]

Did you even notice the huge famous restaurants you were pointing to were out of business? Or did you notice but ignored it?

[@worldofmicah]

Didn’t notice. Too many people around. Why?

[@norbu_la]

@@worldofmicah You didn't walk around, just went to that one restaurant? Why fly across the country and just go to one restaurant and not even walk around, sounds like shill behavior

[@worldofmicah]

If if you watch my video, you see that I cover a huge chunk of that area. The point of this was to compare a theme park to real city not to document how many businesses were still in business or how many people were walking around? There are plenty of other videos on the Internet that talk about that. Enjoy my video for the entertainment that it is and please move on.

[@worldofmicah]

I don’t think you watched my video

[@cnotek1]

Sadly, I know a bunch of the old shop owners in that area. I can think of at least four that have passed away since the pandemic crap. Such a shame they didn’t want to leave crime made believe. One of the store owners told me in the end, he had 10 things stolen per day from everyone old lady little kid, but only sold one item per day and that was the only tourist he had per day. What a shame.

[@liannebedard5521]

@@erikhaack4123 You might want to look up Joey Yee, SF native who does an excellent blog on the neighborhoods tourists never see, Sunset, Richmond, and especially Clement Street or New Chinatown. These are not glamour neighborhoods…there are no bridges, Telegraph Hills…but much of the population actually lives there. Fog is common. The housing in the Richmond is big, roomy old places. Sunset was largely built by one developer, but the houses have back gardens…andif the orientation is right…it is warm enough a for good garden. SF State university and STONESTOWN shopping mall are landmarks. …streetcar service is good. And if you really want to go native, there is the beach…bring a windbreaker.

Yes, they are closed because the city officials give the criminals the benefit of the doubt. So they left the city / state.

The Wharf and most of the businesses in SF have closed. The city is on it's last legs. The DA got recalled because of all the crime and the FBI is moving in on the mayor for corruption. They raided the mayor's house of neighboring Oakland last week and they were good friends. The chickens are coming home to roost.

[@riproar11]

This video is filmed in a way where it doesn't show that everything is closed and out of business, but notice how there are barely any people instead of the usual crowds everywhere. Alioto's and Fisherman's Grotto were historic restaurants that are out of business for good. Below them, that whole area with awnings, had vendors that sold all kinds of seafood from fried calamari and fish, crab sandwiches, etc. but it was all mediocre-tasting and I stopped buying it after a few disappointing tries. All of those vendors gave Fisherman's Wharf its vibe. Watch Metal Leo to see what a wasteland San Francisco really is and the people are in denial.
