Heart of the City
-
San Francisco-based journalist Hank Donat is Mister SF. The web site MisterSF.com began as an effort to inspire a City that was demoralized by the dot com bust in 2001. MisterSF.com and Heart of the City undertook the task of reminding neighbors down the block - and travelers worldwide - that the magic of San Francisco endured then, just as it does today.
The City celebrated its “Online Ambassador” and his effort to support neighborhood concerns. With its unique content and first-hand observations and interviews, the site grew to become a trusted resource for outlets everywhere and an asset to communities at home. Hank’s Heart of the City soon included a newspaper column and GPS-guided tour. Since 2008, the site has been named among “Five Helpful Web Sites for San Francisco” by Fodor’s in its annual SF guidebook.
