San Francisco - DiMaggio sites

Taylor St. home, where he grew up:

North Beach playground:

Galileo HS:

Sts. Peter & Paul Church, where Joe D. wed Dorothy Arnold:


The site of the former DiMaggio's Grotto. Now chain restaurant Joe's Crab Shack, property, I believe, is owned by Dom DiMaggio. Unlike the Crab Shack, I'll assume the entire staff of DiMaggio's Grotto didn't break out into some quirky happy birthday song every 90 seconds while you're waiting for someone to take your order.
Lefty O'Doul's. Est. in 1958, I'm just assuming Joe stopped in on occasion since they were mates.

Marina home where he resided in adulthood (when not enjoying the tax benefits of Florida):

Oakland Coliseum:
