Spending Time at City Hall




San Francisco’s City Hall is a beautiful building.  It was re-built in 1915 after it was completely destroyed by the 1906 earthquake and its dome is the fifth largest in the world.   The main rotunda is especially beautiful with its sweeping grand staircase and overall, the building provides for some perfect photo opportunities.    

Prior to this November, I had never been in the building. This month I made up for the lost time.  

With some major life events occurring this year, including the condo conversion of our home, the immigration filing for Martin and the additional paperwork required for our upcoming nuptials, I have spent numerous days in the City’s headquarters paying fees, completing paperwork and walking required documents back and forth between numerous offices.  My favorite trip involved paying our property taxes for the condo conversion process which included two trips to the Tax Collectors Office and two trips to the Tax Assessors Office all to make one payment and receive one receipt. Man I love this city and government!  At least everyone was incredibly helpful and nice.  

For those who have never been, I would recommend the trip!
