Ugh, for some reason I can't edit the previous post, nor can I seem to delete it...

What history and rumors are you referring to?

Quote:
Lillie Hitchcock Coit, philanthropist and admirer of the fire fighters at the 1906 earthquake fire, left funds to The City for beautification of San Francisco.

Those funds were used for the construction of the 210 ft. tall art deco Coit Tower at the top of Telegraph Hill. The tower’s design is reminiscent of a fire hose nozzle and was quite controversial. The Golden Gate Bridge is another San Francisco landmark with an art deco design.

And a nice article on Lillian from 1939

The Coit Tower - pizza variety has pepperoni, sausage, salami and mushrooms. Excellent crust, not too thick, but enough with a good chewy texture. I'm partial to their Verdi Pizza as well (fresh spinach, pesto, onions and feta cheese no red sauce)

Oh, and I loved The Little Mermaid!
