What is Corona Heights in San Francisco like? Nearby things to do?

Straight bars? How far is the cable car?? What is around??What is Corona Heights in San Francisco like? Nearby things to do?
Randall Museum is there... the area is residential, upper-middle class... no businesses, that I'm aware of. However, it's bordering the Castro which has lots of restaurants, nightlife, bars (mostly gay), clothing and random other stores, and some major music venues (Cafe du Nord, etc...). It's also "the gay neighborhood", so is a bit of a tourist attraction in itself. Corona Heights is also close to the Upper Haight (aka: Haight Ashbury), the Lower Haight (more local than the upper Haight, lots of cafes, restaurant, bars, underground record stores, a costume store, etc... VERY hipstery), Nopa (cafes, bars, music venues, restaurants...), and Cole Valley (the swank/yuppie version of the Haight). All are about a 5-15 munute walk (depending on how fast you walk and where exactly you are ) from Corona Heights. Also reasonably close (a bit of a walk, but doable... pretty quick on bus) to The Mission (probably the biggest hipster/bar scene in the city, but also very Hispanic and many vintage stores, junk stores, religious icon stores, etc...), Noe Valley (the breeder version of the Castro, with a few more crunchy leanings), and the Inner Sunset (college area... lots of restaurants, bookstores... a few more blocks in, very Asian and lots of produce markets, junk stores, etc...)



It's somewhat far away from the cable car lines (about 2 miles from the start/end of the lines at Powell St), but is very close to the Muni subway... right at the Castro/Corona Heights border basically, on Castro St and Market St... which will take you anywhere you need, and right to Powell St. (where the cable cars are) if you choose.What is Corona Heights in San Francisco like?

Corona Hts is a small rock hill near castro, there is Randall museum for children there, and pretty residental area, no bar, you need to take Muni to Powell to catch cable car.
