Mt. Davidson Park

This guide to Mt. Davidson Park in San Francisco starts with the concrete cross at its summit, which doubled as the climax setting for Dirty Harry, then goes back to a 1923 Easter sunrise service that first put a wooden cross on this hilltop and the 1934 dedication where President Roosevelt switched on the replacement from Washington, D.C. It follows the cross into a decades-later lawsuit over a religious symbol standing on city land, and the 1997 sale that changed who actually owns this patch of hill. Listen for what the buyers decided the cross should mean going forward.
