When Clint Eastwood is leaving City Hall in the original "Dirty Harry" you can see the old skyline. City Hall is dazzling now but it was fairly dingy looking then. The State Building (to the north) now has a larger addition built behind it that fits it well. The Asian Museum directly across the plaza was the main Library. The London Plane trees are of course the ones Donald Sutherland shocked Veronica Cartwright in "Body Snatchers."
I watched them filming "Milk" in that space and can say that Van Sant welcomed just about anyone that wanted to be a part of the shoot.
