Unearthed time capsule at SF's Transamerica Pyramid to open for public viewing

The Transamerica Pyramid in San Francisco will unveil a time capsule buried for 50 years, with the exhibit opening on May 18. The capsule contains historical artifacts, including a cassette tape interview from the building's inauguration. Owner Michael Shvo discovered the capsule after an anonymous tip led him to its location, buried beneath six feet of concrete. He emphasized the building's irreplaceable nature and the importance of preserving the city's history. John Krizek, the pyramid's original public relations representative, noted the necessity of honoring the pyramid's legacy.

The surrounding area, Jackson Square, is undergoing revitalization, with a $250 million renovation completed. This development aims to enhance the city's recovery, attracting both locals and tourists. As interest in the area grows, businesses are seeing an uptick in activity, signaling a promising future for the neighborhood.
