Tricia O'Brien, author of San Francisco's Bayview Hunters Point will be guest author, and will sign her book at Springer-Croke Fine Art Gallery on November 16, 2005 from 7 pm to 9 pm. Springer-Croke Fine Art Gallery is located at 3236 Sacramento Street in San Francisco.

Ms. O’Brien’s, whose family has deep roots in Bayview Hunters Point, tells the story of the neighborhood through more than 200 vintage photographs collected from local families and history-minded organizations. The book documents the dramatic transformation that has taken place since the early days when cows were herded up Third Street, to the days of the naval shipyard that once dominated the area (and is now being redeveloped) to the building of the Third Street light rail extension that will bring further change to Bayview Hunters Point.
