	Whether or not you believe such theories, you'll have to admit that the Urbano Sundial is a bizarre, incongruous sight. When it was built, around the turn of the century, what is now the Urbano Street circle was the [[The First Traffic Jam \|Ingleside race track]], located in the wasteland of endless sand dunes that covered most of western San Francisco; the sundial, say historians, was erected as a race-track ornament. Later, as the city sprawled outward across the barren sands, the track was paved over, the bleachers were torn down, and the racetrack became a middle-class neighborhood. All that remains of the former racetrack is the mysterious sundial.		Whether or not you believe such theories, you'll have to admit that the Urbano Sundial is a bizarre, incongruous sight.

The Urbano Sundial at the end of Entrada Street, mid-1990s.

Located at the end of Entrada Street, off Borica Street, off Urbano Drive.

What is a gigantic sundial doing in the middle of this prosaic neighborhood? Local occultists claim that the Urbano Sundial, like Stonehenge, the Mayan and Egyptian pyramids, and other ancient monuments, is a cosmic calendar built on a power spot.

Whether or not you believe such theories, you'll have to admit that the Urbano Sundial is a bizarre, incongruous sight. When it was built, around the turn of the century, what is now the Urbano Street circle was the [[The First Traffic Jam Ingleside race track]], located in the wasteland of endless sand dunes that covered most of western San Francisco; the sundial, say historians, was erected as a race-track ornament. Later, as the city sprawled outward across the barren sands, the track was paved over, the bleachers were torn down, and the racetrack became a middle-class neighborhood. All that remains of the former racetrack is the mysterious sundial.
