	A resident of Potrero commented that if a person sneezed at the bottom of the hill on a quiet summer evening, the sneeze could be heard at the top of Potrero Hill. During the day, the hum of industry fills the air. In the evening, however, when the workers have returned to their homes, a new noise is heard over the hill. Across the valley floor of the old Mission Bay, stands the heart of San Francisco, and on a clear warm night, with the fog as a backdrop, the skyline becomes a huge amphitheater. The heartbeat of the city reflecting off the fog, bounces against the hill with a sound much like the sea, ever present as it rolls in.
