A drive past the sleek new SFJAZZ Center at 201 Franklin Street not only gives passersby a look at one of the city’s newest landmarks, but window sill views of legendary jazz figures as well.

DID YOU KNOW? One of the reasons SFJAZZ was built at Franklin and Fell was because of its close proximity to Muni.
