Their San Franciscan love affair

"Hearts in San Francisco" began in 2004 as a fund raiser for the San Francisco General Hospital Foundation. Like the famous painted cows, the painted hearts -- created from uniform molds and painted by individual artists -- decorate the city in areas like Union Square, until they are auctioned off at a benefit for the charity. New hearts are unveiled each year.

  1. Interesting story. I have not heard of this since I left the Bay Area around that time.
