At the beginning

Moscone Convention Center at the current location was built around Y2k, Year 2000, if you are too young to recall. The big Event that could have surprised the world but yet has no comparison to the 9 11 that followed on year 2001. Homeless peolpe from all over the nation if not the world arrives San Francisco because this is the city haven. The weather is perfect for camping, and sleeping on the street is tolerated as a courtesy and out of respect for human right. Over the year, even the green buildings will wear out and become a piece of trash. However, sleeping on the street will never damage the environment as much as the construction of a 60 floors' high rise in downtown. Well, StarBucks always open early and become a refuge for breakfast, and a release for a lonely night if someone got kicked out of a 5 stars hotel suite. Attending a Moscone Convention and conferences is also one reason to visit a Starbuck near the Moscone Center, which, in fact, i believe, is the management and planning office for the Moscone Convention Center.
