happy birthday 80th birthday san francisco zoo!

this weekend marks the zoo's anniversary! you know i love the zoo that is one of the main reasons i'm doing this blog. i also love sf history and sfzoo history is the perfect combo for me! i hope along with getting to know the residents, that also learning about the zoo's history will make my goal of bringing people's passion for the zoo to a higher level. ... the zoo did a nice job in posting signs at key historic sites within the park. i hope they keep them up from now on, its a very nice touch. i'm all about educating people about the zoo and its residents, as to me, that's key in making people feel like they are a part of the zoo rather than it being just a place to go . ... in case you couldn't be there here they are. expand photo to view the bit of history.
