Pier 45 is DEAD TO ME! San Francisco landmark burns down

It's like Notre Dame all over again

First Pier 1, now Pier 45!

Will Piers Morgan die next to make the trifectta?

The first 2 serve(d) a purpose. Piers could drop, and I'd not bat an eye.

Too bad it’s not Pier 39.

Fuck. That’s where the Musée Mécanique is

Smells like some broke because of lockdown business cashing in on an insurance claim.

Here’s another pic. This looks really extreme, was it a fuel storage area? What’s so flammable there?

The most incredible thing on Pier 45 is the USS Jeremiah O'Brien, which was protected from the fire by fire boat. The majority of the pier is just a warehouse where they process fish, and store crab pots. The pier itself is concrete, so at least only the structure will be caput. Musee Mechanique is/was in the front of the pier, so if that's gone, it will be a real shame.

Musee Mechanique is the only reason to go near that area. I hope it survives.

Maybe they were able to pull items out of the museum. I hope.

The queens.

Too bad it's not Prez 45.

First Pier 1 and now Pier 45??? How much more can we take? You officially suck, 2020!

Is there any update on this? How is Musee? Did it survive?

I was hoping it was Piers Morgan.

[quote]Danny Z giving the thumbs up. Musée Mécanique has survived. We’ll be here when you are.

Musée Mécanique Is fine.

As for the rest of the pier, I suggest it is converted to a complex of public toilets and low income housing for the needy.

The waterfront location will be so inspiring.

Very original, r13.

Pier 45 is an insatiable bottom.

Are familiar with the concept of what a PIER is?

Thank you for the update, guys.

Thank God the Balclutha is safe!

When I was a child the older bits from Musée Mécanique was housed in the Cliff House. Below is a photo of the toothpick carnival scene. That's the kind of stuff we kids liked back in the olden days.

I remember Musée Mécanique in the Cliff House, too. And of course Playland-at-the-Beach.

We lost Pier Angeli too.

Insurance scam.

ARE THE GLORYHOLES OK

Wait, that's not Sam Watterston at R16? ( mock me if you must)

R27, the gloryholes are fine but there's a sale on charred wieners on a stick at the Wharf.
