“Visitacion Valley is easiest to pinpoint by naming features that are not quite in it.
It is the place where you would find yourself if you took the wrong turn at the exit for Candlestick Park. It’s the district across Geneva Avenue from the Cow Palace.
When you are driving north on Route 101, it is the first section of town on your left as you cross the San Francisco line…”
(Jill Kneerim, 1985)
