Moscone Convention Center, San Francisco: Built under the architectural design of Hellmuth, Obata, and Kassabaum (HOK), world's fourth largest firm based in the USA, the Moscone Convention Center is a large convention complex located in San Francisco, California. The convention center, built in 1981 bears the name of George Moscone who was a member of Democratic Party, subsequently assumed the positions of Mayorship and a Senator, and finally succumbed to the bullet shots of his rival White, originally consisted of one single hall, the Moscone South. Though named after him, yet, the irony is that Moscone had objected to its construction on the ground that it would displace the middle class residents. After two expansions in 1992 and 2003, it has since then expanded into three halls, comprising of two underground halls within the confines of Yerba Buena Gardens situated between the Third and Fourth Mission and Folsom Streets, downtown San Francisco and a three level exhibition hall spawning across the 4th street. Yerba Buena was the original Mexican Town which subsequently was accessed the United States in 1846 under her fold, thus becoming a part of San Francisco, CA. It was a place where a number of large professional meetings, (a few of which worth mentioning are Macworld Expo, RSA Conference, Apple Worldwide Developers Conference, etc.,) were held. Besides, it was the venue for the Democratic National Convention in the year 1984. The final scene of the Movie ‘The Net’, a political thriller was shot there. It possesses a large solar electricity system which signaled the first ever step in obtaining all the pollution free Municipal energy. As one of the largest solar installations within the USA, it delivers power to approximately 8500 homes within the city of San Francisco. Mission Dolores, San Francisco: Mission Dolores, also known as Mission San Francisco de Asis, comes in ranking as the sixth Californian Chain of Missions founded in 1776 jointly by Lieutenant Jose Joaquin Moraga and Father Francisco Paou. They were part of de Anza Expedition, the objective of which was to bring the Spanish settlers to Upper California. Besides, they were also charged with the responsibility of preaching to the local Indians and the Native Americans, identified with the name of Costanoan inhabiting at that time in the Californian coast. The significance of the name could be traced to the fact that it is nearer to a creek named Arroyo de Nuestra Senora de los Dolores, which roughly translates to "Our Lady of Sorrows" creek, one of the names attributed to Virgin Mary, to signify the sorrow she was believed to have under gone while leading her life. The seven sorrows as well as joys were considered the part of Roman Catholic Church. Blessed Virgin Mary, for many centuries, has been featuring in several other subjects parts of which are Christian Art, Catholic Art, and Western Art. The Mission Dolores area is famous for the California Gold Rush which brought an estimated 3, 00,000 people to California from both within the USA and abroad. The Mission Dolores area is famous for the California Gold Rush which brought an estimated 3, 00,000 people to California from both within the USA and abroad. A famous synonym to the year 1849 representing the earlier part of the Rush could be found in the term 'Forty-niners' that referred to those who sailed by boat and covered wagons to arrive in to California braving considerable hardships. Perhaps, this contributed to the rapid growth of San Francisco from a simple place of living to a modern city accompanied with infrastructure that is seen in the modern times. Mexican Museum Fired by a desire to give expressions to the Mexican or Mexican origin Americans' creativity and artistry, Peter Rodriguez, an artist himself, had established the Mexican Museum in the year 1975. Subsequently, Chicano and Latino artistic expressions found a place in it. Its original place was 'The Mission District' from where it was shifted to the Fort Mason Center and has a collection of about 12,000 artistic creations. Mexican calendars are considered part and parcel of Mexican history. The Mexican Art had subjected itself to controversies by blemishing the lines between the fine and popular art and artistis as Jesus de la Helguera has been cited as responsible in bringing about such a phenomenon through their art productions. They also serve as mirrors in understanding conflicting values and attitudes which are reflected in the imagery. Their value, however, lies in the artful components of the Mexican works. It attracts the visitors for the fact that the Museum reflects a community of Mexicans and their descendants into California who have been subjected to constant change and evolution and hence represents the dynamism. The Museum also stands as a gateway for establishing links with other cultures. Louise Davies Symphony Hall, San Francisco: Constructing a building within a building is the specialty that one can find in the Louis Davies Symphony Hall whose construction was a joint effort of many an experts like Skidmore Owings & Merril etc., and Bolt, Beranek and Newman. The reverberation time which is restricted to one to two seconds is due to the acoustic elegance that is obtained from the way the building within the building is designed. The outer building comprises of one inch thick structural glass wall that forms as a curtain while the next structural wall acts both as the back wall and lobby space. The hall was built from the contributions of innumerable foundations, corporations, and notably 6000 individuals and thrown open to the public in 1980. The land was donated by the City of San Francisco. After accounting for the financial contributions of about $10 million by the Federal and State Governments, the total cost for completing it has been estimated at $28 million. It derives its name from the largest single contributor, viz, Mrs. Louise M. Davies. When its renovation took place in 1992, besides adding acoustic capabilities to it, consideration was given to human care also by making it friendly for physically disabled. All types of music from classical to symphony are performed here. Lotta's Fountain, San Francisco: Named after its contributor, Lotta Crabtree, a multi-talented, popular, wealthy immigrant actress of the 19th century for which reason she was reported to be affectionately called as 'The Nation's Darling', the Lotta Fountain stands at the intersection of Market Street. Though it was dedicated in the year 1875 itself, it shot into prominence by serving as a meeting point during earth quake and fire that shook the city in 1906. It struck San Francisco on a Wednesday early morning at 5.12 a,m on April, 18, 1906 and for its worst impact, is compared only with the Galveston Hurricane of the 1900s. To mark this, a commemoration is held every year at the same time on the same date during which time thousands of tourists throng the place. The fountain was rebuilt in 1999 which had restored its original appearance. The oldest surviving monument is remembered more for the earthquake as a gathering point. It is understandable that it served as a point for survivors to post the names of the dead, the missing and found for though the earthquake had lasted only for 27 seconds, at an estimated temperature of 2700 degrees F, it had burnt one third of the city, destroying a 28000 buildings causing a financial havoc of $350,000,000. It also stands as a symbol of the courage of those who had built the city back. Lincoln Park, San Francisco: Lincoln's Park comprises an area of 100 acres which was dedicated in the year 1909 to one of the famous Presidents of the USA, Abraham Lincoln whose names bring in fond memories and admiration in the American people. It lies in the Western Terminus of Lincoln Highway which has the distinction of being the first coast-to-coast road across the USA, connecting 14 States. It may however be ironical to note that the place was used as a cemetery in the 1860s which subsequently turned into a golf course prior to finally taking this shape. In 1923, it was chosen for the California Legion of Honor, a term used to designate a fine art museum. The name is used to signify both the collections in the museum and the building. From the park, one can get a fantastic view of the Golden Gate Bridge. The park has both historical and entertainment values. Japanese Tea Garden, San Francisco: It is unique because it houses both a tea garden that grows native Japanese and Chinese plants but also houses sculptures and bridges in a hidden state. It is spread in an area of five acres, perhaps, the oldest Japanese Style Garden tracing its origin to 1894 with the Californian Midwinter International Exposition. It is one of the popular must visit feature of the Golden Gate Park. As the oldest public Japanese Garden that exists in San Francisco, there are so many paths for one to wander and ponds to sit at. It was constructed out and out by Japanese artisans though it blends the features of East and West. The garden is admired by many a tourists for its expression of the essence of nature through the carefully selected used of plants and stones organized in harmony with the landscape. The ways they are placed also express symbolic meanings and or convey the charming seasonal colors of the trees and shrubs. Its green tea served in silk kimono besides conveying the ethnic artistic skills serves as a rejuvenator of the mind and the body. The fortune cookies that furnishes the energy could be traced to 1914 and Makato Hagiwara and his baker. Harvey Milk Plaza, San Francisco: Harvey Milk Plaza is dedicated to Harvey Milk, the first gay politician who made the rights of gay heard among the American Politicians. He was even more admired after the smashing hit of the movie Milk which won Oscar to Sean Penn for his stunning performance. Some tourists prefer to walk around the 1.7 mile through the 575 Castro Street where Harvey Milk had run his camera shop. Though the original shop is no longer housed there, yet, he is remembered by the owner of the gift shop with a mural on its wall. The Harvey Milk Plaza is located at the intersection of the Castro and Market Streets. The plaza is surrounded by a number of arteries, book stores and a community center. The tour terminates at the City Hall where Harvey Milk succumbed to the bullets of White. Incidentally, he had also assassinated Moscone. Despite the gruesome manner in which he was killed, yet he lives among the gay community with such placards appearing from among them that "we don't live in your shadow. We grow in your shade.” Grace Cathedral, San Francisco: Grace Cathedral is an Episcopal Church situated in Nob Hill, a neighborhood in San Francisco. Episcopal it is meant as the Province of the Anglican Communion in the United States, Honduras, Taiwan etc., and parts of Europe. The unique feature of this Church is that though it is Protestant, yet considers itself Catholic also. Historically it owes its existence to the aftermath of American Revolution because of which it was obligated to separate from the Church of England. This is due to the stipulation that they should express their allegiance to the British Monarch. It has yet another distinction in that it is first Anglican Province outside the British Isles. Its architecture is considered to represent a neo-Gothic structure and houses versatile works of medieval-style art. It is also correlated to the Gold Rush year because of its completion of construction in that year. After gaining its name as 'Grace Church' after it’s rebuilding for the third time, it was destroyed in the 1906 earth quake the ravages of fire.. It owes its current location to the Nob Hill property originally owned by Charles Crocker who was gracious enough to donate it for a cathedral in the early 1920s. Perhaps, it took the longest number of years for its being built with the construction commencing in 1928 and getting completed in 1964. It is also the third largest Episcopal cathedral in the United States. Gould Theater, San Francisco: For the connoisseurs of Chamber Music, perhaps, no other theater can be better than Gould Theatre. Also known as Florence Gould Theatre at the Legion of Honour, it is described as a 300-seat jewel box of a theatre with unmatched acoustics. It was built as early as 1924 as a Little Theater and has to its honour the performances of famous artists as Budapest String Quartet, the Julliard String Quartet, the Walter Trampler etc., It houses a museum, a cafe which gives added value to the money for matinee goers. Being in the neighbourhood of Lincoln Park and lobos, one can get the value for money by being strategizing the visit to be there for the matinee in the theater and then traverse around the park. It is designed user friendly for the disabled also so that they are not deprived of such pleasures because of the disability. Golden Gate Park, San Francisco: It is a massive urban park sprawling in an area of 1017 acres mainly consisting of public grounds. However, for comparison purposes often the New York Central Park is quoted because of their shape of being configured as a rectangle yet the comparison stops there for it is at least 20% larger than its counterpart. It attract the highest number of tourists with the annual estimates put at about 13 million on ranking third in such visits among the visited city parks situated across the lengths and breadths of the USA. The Golden Gate is considered an engineering marvel that has been built over the Golden Gate. It stretches over 4200 feet and ever since it was built in 1937, it has been attracting both pedestrians and bike rider tourists. The tourists should not miss the historic Roundhouse. Fort Point National Historical Site, San Francisco: The first thing the tourists should note about this location is that it is open only for three days in a week, which are Friday through Sunday from 10 AM to 5PM. Its historical significance lies in the fact that it had protected the San Francisco harbour from attacks from all sides during and after the Civil War. Its architectural significance lies in its lovely arched casemates that display the art of the master brick mason that could be traced to Civil War period. By virtue of the fact that it had stood guard at the Golden Gate for more than 150 years, it has the distinction of acquiring so many adorable terms as the 'Pride of the Pacific', 'the Gibraltar of the West Cost' and for the architecture mentioned earlier it is also described as the most appropriate models of masonry in the USA. Its construction is also linked to the Gold Rush but the objective of its building at that time was more considered deterrence point, something aimed at deterring a naval attack on California. Nevertheless, it has faced totally a different type attack that included the fury of the nature in the 1906 Earth Quake, the Civil War, and the Second World War. Being a military construction built between 1853 and 1861 by military engineers, it had adopted the system prevalent at that time called as the 'Third System" style of military architecture. In other words, this system concentrates on the prevention of attacks on the harbour. Elitch Gardens, Denver With the condition that its name should not be changed. The Park satisfied the amusement, entertainment, and aesthetic quests of its visitors. Its Kiddieland (a pioneering concept at that time) and Elitch Theater, besides a range of roller coasters were its land marks. Being owned as a private park, it underwent many a change in the ownership. The change in ownerships resulted both in bringing in new facilities and closing up of the old ones. In 1985, it moved to a new location in the Central Platte River Valley which was provided by the City of Denver and when it opened for the public in 1995, in just two subsequent seasons, it had registered more than 1 and 1.2 million visitors considered a record when compared with 750000 in the earlier location. The amusement park underwent a total makeover shift in a 28 acre site. The Highlands' Garden Village showcases the theme of 'new urbanism’ through the development of more than 300 housing units, office and retail spaces. Nevertheless, the picnic structure has been maintained by retaining many of the old elements of the park, including old tree, the Elitch theatre etc, which aptly befits the statement that "not to See Elitch's is not to see Denver."
Dedicated to the children and the accompanying public in the year 1996, the Children's Museum is located in Central Platte Valley in an 8000 sq ft area, accessible both from the Interstate-25 and Platte Bike Trail and is open on all the days of the week with extended hours on Wednesdays. It conveys the concept of 'learning through playing' by creating a casual and friendly atmosphere where both the children and grownups can participate. Toddlers to 11 years old can enjoy a wide variety of facilities in display that includes Arts& crafts, music, interactive exhibits, lights and shadows to mention only a few of them. It has estimated visitor coverage of 50000 or more annually. The children are exposed to three main types of activities, active, exploratory, and quiet. There is no water tight compartment among them as they have been kept flexible and interchangeable. They have been designed with the sole objective of keeping them adoptable to the moods and needs of the children. Nevertheless, the Exploratorium requires special mention because of the fact that it represents a new concept in efforts to integrate Arts with Science. Its primary objective is to enhance the self-esteem in the children through discovery and exploration. 3. Denver Art Museum, Denver Originally established as the Denver Artists Club in the year 1893 and subsequently acquiring the name and status as Art Museum, the Denver Art Museum, is dedicated to the acquiring, preserving and presentation of Art works to the public both from Colorado and elsewhere. It is located at the 13th Avenue that lies between Broadway and Bannock Streets in the downtown Denver.

The tourists are enticed to visit the Museum with such attractive statements as that' it would change the way they see art and architecture.... there would always be something new as the Museum is never the same.' 4. Performing Arts Complex - Denver Ranking second in the USA, the Performing Arts Complex is located in a 12-acre four square block site which houses within itself eleven performing venues that could seat 11,260 people at any given point of time being located in the central part of down town and nearer to the Colorado Convention Center, it is easily accessible. As a center that caters to differing activities in the field, it is dedicated to the promotion and promoters of the Performing Arts. . One of its auditoriums, originally known as the Auditorium Theatre and currently called the Quigg Newton Denver Municipal Auditorium was built in 1907 for which reason it has acquired the status of a Historical landmark. The Classical Ballet company, Colorado Ballet, catering to a patron of about 110000 annually, the Colorado Symphony, a professional American orchestra that performs pops, family, Park concerts, catering to about 200000 patrons annually, and the Opera Colorado which renders three to four fully staged productions entertaining at least 43000 which includes many students all make it a point to stage their performances in this complex. It also houses a Sculpture Park and privately held Helen G. Bonfils Theatre Complex which are added attractions to the tourists. 5. Denver Zoo, Denver Founded in 1896, spread over in an 80-acre complex, and located in the City Park of Denver, Denver Zoo has gained a place for itself as a naturalistic zoo that dispenses away the caging of animals. Having a humble start with an orphaned American black bear , then named and affectionately called 'Billy Bryan' (connected with a then politician), the zoo now is inhabited by species from all over the world that consists of mammals, primates, the elephants, the cats, birds and snakes and even fish. There are innumerable facilities available in the zoo to cater to the requirements of the visitors. In order to attract the children and visitors alike, the Pioneer Train operated within the premises of the Zoo takes the visitors with a quick trip around that enable them to see the six types of American and Chilean flamingos and other fresh water birds. The train has the distinction of being the first gas-powered zoo train in the USA. It was reported to be 'the' popular destination in the Denver metropolitan area. In the year 2005, it was reported to be 'the' popular destination in the Denver metropolitan area 6. Coors Field, Denver Located between the 20th and Blake Streets in the lower down town and inaugurated in 1976, the Coors Field is spread over a 72-acre with a grass surface. Built at a cost of $215 million and owned by the Denver Metropolitan Baseball Stadium District with a 78% public and 22% private funding ( Colorado Rockie owners), it can seat 50,381 fans which includes 63 luxury boxes and 4500 club level seats. It is unique on several counts. It was the first park built by the National League exclusively for base ball. In an atmosphere of old time ballparks’, features that are found in modern stadiums have been incorporated. In the construction, hands laid bricks have been used and at the entrance, the stadium is adorned at the top by an old-fashioned clock. With the application of an ingenious technology, the grass sucks five inches of water, an hour and the heating system built under the ground melt the snow no sooner it hits the field. The fans can circle around the field 360 degree without losing the sight of the ground. It was the site of All-Star game in the year, 1998. In an obvious reference to the 'home run friendly park,’ the stadium has been subjected to a major controversy among the fans with the critics referring it as 'Coors Canaveral' which is a comparison with the Cape Canaveral from where the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) launches the spacecrafts. 7. Park Meadows Mall, Denver Perhaps the Park Meadows Mall has obtained this name because of the fact that the visitors see it both as a mall and as a Park. It is even compared with a giant like Rocky Mountain lodge because of the composition of wood-beamed ceilings and an odd sized stone fireplace. The tourists need not necessarily go there with a compulsion to shop for they can take a stroll in it as like a park it has evergreen trees with the only difference that it is indoors. After taking a stroll or completing the purchases or as a place to laze around casually after a dinner in one of its restaurants, the tourists can sneak into the recently added open-air addition called the Vistas. For the serious shoppers, the mall houses about 160 stores catering to differing consumers, is clean and classy and has the capability to fill in needs of a typical mall visitor. 8. Six Flags Elitch Gardens, Denver The privately owned Elitch Gardens has had many a checkered history in terms of changing owners and dwindling fortunes. When it was owned by John and Mary Elitch and operated by Mary Elitch for a period of 26 years since its inception, it delighted the visitors both as a Zoological Gardens and Amusement Park. It was closed in 1994, but, when opened afterwards never acquired its original form besides changing hands every now and then. In 1995, it opened in a smaller place that resulted in the abandoning of many rides and attractions that used to characterize the original park. Some coasters were left in the old place and others even demolished. It was purchased by Six Flags for a price of $65 million in the year 1996 and rechristened as Six Flags Elitch Gardens' to reflect this new ownership. Between 1996 and until 2006 it ran in that name. In 2007, it sold Elitch Park along with six other properties for a price of $312 million to come out of its mounting debts. During its ten years of operation, it got one of the worst ever ratings from a majority of tourists and visitors from charges of over pricing to that of uncomfortable, unfriendly and discourteous services. Perhaps, it is an example as to how a recreational facility should not be run. 9. Pepsi Center, Denver Pepsi Center, opened in 1999 and located in the Mile High City is touted as a multi-facility venue. It can be entered from I-25. As a sports stadium it can seat almost 21,0000 fans Besides being home to Colorado Avalanche of the National Hockey League and the Denver Nuggets of the National Basketball Association, it hosts other teams as the Colorado Crush, the Colorado Mammoth , the Denver's lacrosse and Denver's arena football teams.

Pepsi center has all the infrastructural facilities that go with such a massive structure. Pepsi center is known for combining art with entertainment. For example in one of the charity shows held by Brain in the cause of cure for a cancer, the Center had organized special effects on lighting in which each time the Colorado Mammoth scores, lights went off dark. Pepsi Center was caught in a controversy that involved a double booking with same date and time having been agreed both for World Wresting Entertainment and Game 4 of NBA Western Conference Finals between the Nuggets and the Los Angeles Lakers causing it considerable embarrassment to the respective owners.
