Cat sitting in Dogpatch, what it actually looks like

Dogpatch is the converted-industrial waterfront neighborhood south of Mission Bay, with the historic Pier 70 shipyards, Crane Cove Park along the bay, and Esprit Park as the central green space. Newer luxury condos along Third Street, plus loft conversions in the older industrial blocks.
