$30 Million San Francisco Waterfront Project
20 July 2000 - 1:45pm
An entertainment complex is planned for San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf. Too much like Las Vegas, say critics. Great tourist appeal say supporters.
Cleveland-based Malrite company plans a $30 million project on San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf, complete with a model Golden gate Bridge, fake fog, earthquake and theme park.

At issue is the integrity of San Francisco's Bay versus a world-class development.
