Amanda CarpenterDecember 30, 2009Stand in the center during a rather touristy Tuesday (the Tuesday before or after Christmas for example) at exactly noon and watch the tourists panic over the noon siren- Look for the hearts & posse for a photo, one on each corner of the square. :-)

Tourists--check out the different "SF Hearts" art in the park to take pictures of/with.
