As you walk up and down Franklin Street in Hayes Valley you'll not only see the glow coming off the brand new SFJAZZ Center as it lights up the street during any given evening, however you'll also notice famous photographs of jazz legends taken by Herman Leonard appearing in all the windows in the building across the street. It's truly an amazing visual to see!
Here are the photos displayed within the windows of the SF Unified School District building (Can you name them without looking below?):
