A drive to The City to photograph streetcars. The Market Street Railway live tracker showed Blackpool boat car 233 was operating on Embarcadero. By the time I arrived there, the tram was fixing to deadhead back to Beach Yard. Because it didn't take on passengers, I assume it was an operator training run.

Spent time at Embarcadero, Kearny, and North Point for the usual sunshiney streetcar pictures.

Rode transit to Chinatown for a meal. My beloved Rose Garden on Grant Avenue appears permanently closed, but a walk to Portsmouth Square yielded The Garden Restaurant. I enjoyed their Mongolian Beef, which was packed with meat, onions, and just enough sliced dried red peppers to put a little spice in the meal. Returned to the car via Muni Metro to Stonestown Galleria.

Among featured vehicles, besides 233: cars 1008, 1010, 1015, 1051, 1056, 1057, 1058, 1059, 1060, 1061, 1079; New Flyer XDE60 no. 6543 on the 8 Bayshore line.

Nikon D5600 and Samsung Galaxy A54 5G cameras yielded 290 photos, including one cropped version.
