I want to go "On the Road" to San Francisco and have photos taken of me in Jack Kerouac Alley, Vesuvio Cafe, and City Lights Bookstore, all famous hangouts for Beatniks.
N 37 47.850, W 122 24.402
After that I just want to bum around on a sacred zombie drift to anywhere.....
You dig?
Jack Kerouac Alley
Jack Kerouac Alley (formerly Adler Alley or Adler Place) is a one-way alleyway in Chinatown, San Francisco, California that connects Grant Avenue and Columbus Avenue.
The alley is named after Jack Kerouac, a Beat Generation writer who used to frequent Vesuvio Cafe and City Lights bookstore that is adjacent to the alley.
The alley was a common place for garbage dumping and a shortcut for trucks. In 1988, poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti, who is the co-founder of City Lights Bookstore, presented his idea to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors to transform the alleyway. The project involved repaving the alley, banning motor vehicles, and installing new street lights. The new look alley reopened to the public in March 2007. The alley is now known for its engraved Westerna and Chinese poems, including poets such as John Steinback, Maya Angelou, and Kerouac himself.
