Thank you! It's really brilliant to have someone with local knowledge!Other tourist areas besides what you named would be Ghirardelli Square, Fisherman’s Wharf, North Beach. And I think amusement visitors largely also consist of suburban families in the surrounding area. So possibly the Bart stations which would be busy with commuters from outlying areas arriving in the city for work could be targets. Those would be the Montgomery and Embarcadero stations on Market. There is also a Ferry building with ferry service (although not sure exactly when that started).There really are a lot of possibility.
Other Marriott options - there was a Farrells in the Serramonte shopping center in Daly City. But this one and the airport job are much less likely IMO. Bart didn’t extend to the airport until the 2000s. So both of these locations would have required taking Bart to Daly City plus one or more bus transfers.
This is JMO, but I can’t see living in the heart of SF only to travel to Daly City every day.
It would make more sense to live in Daly City where it‘s cheaper and commute into SF where there are more jobs instead of the other way around JMO.
If anyone has access to newspaper archives, I would love to get a look at the Sunday help wanted classifieds in the SF Chronicle or Examiner from that time. Id be curious to see what jobs Marriott was hiring for. If there were Farrells job ads and none for ticket selling (for example), that would make the trek out to Daly City more likely IMO.
Several commenters in this thread do have access to newspapers and I am pretty sure that a while back someone (sorry forget who) has posted an ad they found advertising a job for Farrell's Ice Cream!
Thank you about the information regarding The Bart ...I had honestly just assumed that the air port would have been one of the first routes to be completed!
