Will San Francisco’s Fisherman’s wharf still make it to California’s tourist spots?

San Francisco - The home of the 49ers and the SF Giants, known for its commercial, financial and cultural center in northern california. It is also known for its diverse culture and iconic sights that is why it is one of the most well-known and recognizable cities in the world.

San Francisco is famous for its iconic sights including the Fisherman’s wharf which is always one of the busiest tourist areas located in the Pier 39 where you can find most notable tourist attractions like the Cannery Shopping Center, Ghirardelli Square, a Ripley’s believe it or not museum, the musee mecanique, madame tussauds and many more.

Although the Fisherman’s wharf is home to notable tourist areas, we can’t help but notice that the number of people now visiting the wharf is completely flailing and most businesses on the wharf are now closing, selling or leasing their properties or moving to another location. With that going on will the famous Fisherman’s wharf still be part of the most famous California’s tourist spots in the upcoming year?

If the Fisherman’s wharf is closing will it be worth closing or can we reopen them again in another few or more years? Would we miss the so notable wharf when it closes or can we totally forget the wharf which has served millions or even billions of tourists throughout the era.

According to ABC7, One of the biggest challenges of the business owners is bringing the customer back up with the city. With San Francisco’s high-cost of lifestyle people choose to leave the city rather than stay.

With the pandemic that had happened, It left the businessowners devastated as their businesses faced defeat and could not resurface again and are still on the verge of working for solutions on how they can come back up again.

According to ABC7, It is as a result of the City of San Francisco's and the Port Authority's willful failure to safeguard the historic Fisherman's Wharf against out of control unhoused population, criminal activity in and around the Fisherman's Wharf, and unsafe structural conditions that the wharf was harmed.

It just fills me in with nostalgia whenever I think about the Fisherman’s wharf. Can you just think of the cheery ringing of the cable car bells, the sights, sounds and smells along busy Jefferson Street, the renovated historic red-brick factories, the ghirardelli square, the steaming street-side pots of Dungeness crab, the smell and taste of the clam chowders and the awesome seals at Pier 39. 

Suddenly it just hits, that someday ages and ages hence, we might forgot about the famous wharf and it might get renovated and changed and it might become just a memory to old folks who saw the original and which that only remains are old photographs to show and tell the new generation but it will never be the same.

You can never really tell the whole beauty and glimpse of San Francisco until you’ve seen it and experienced it. And these new generations, there’s already something in their experience because the famous wharf forgotten or not will always be part of San Francisco. Nothing will beat the classic.
