It is inconceivable that there is one grown person in San Francisco -even an immigrant of the Kaiser-Bechtel persuasion -who hasn t seen Sutro Baths. But there must be thousands of kids who haven t been inside.
They shouldn t grow up without seeing it. Playland-at-the-Beach is all right and a lot of fun but it will be there for a long while. Sutro s is not long for this world. She shuts down next Tuesday, the day after Labor Day, and then they start removing her stays.
