The Wiggly Bronze Businessman of SF's South

Now when you think about San Francisco's South of Market, you're likely imagining lively streets, brimming businesses, and perhaps a few feathered friends. However, the heart of Yerba Buena Gardens holds a one-of-a-kind artwork that's been shake-stepping its way into our hearts since 1993 – Shaking Man. This bronze fella, Terry Allen's creation, is worth a peek, and his plaque gives it away: 'Shaking Man / Terry Allen / 1993 / Collection of the / San Francisco Redevelopment Agency.'

This isn't your everyday, static piece of statuary, no sir. Shaking Man stands at approximately 5 ft. 5 in. wide by 2 ft. 6 in. tall and 2 ft. 6 in. across, and you can find him sprawled across the garden, a testament to the thriving creativity in the City by the Bay. You might say Shaking Man's got the dance moves to make even the most stoic individuals wonder what's in San Francisco's water.
