Mayor London Breed to join family members of Tony Bennett, City leaders, the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency, and Market Street Railway to dedicate the California Street Cable Car 53 to the late multi Grammy and Emmy award winner musician.
“Halfway to the Stars” — that phrase indelibly associated with cable cars comes from a song made world-famous by the great Tony Bennett, who passed away just before the 150th anniversary date of the first cable car operation. To honor his memory, California Street Cable Car 53 will be dedicated to him on Valentine’s Day at California and Mason streets atop Nob Hill, near his statue outside the Fairmont Hotel, where he first sang “I Left My Heart in San Francisco” in 1961. It will be a heartfelt ceremony featuring civic leaders, and family and friends of the legendary singer.
