I also live across the bay from SF so I'm really interested in #1. Plus it looks like it's supposed to be the June one and that's my birth month, so it's doubly attractive to me.

Anyway, I got really fixated on that "sweet smell" clue, and the first things that came to mind were either the rose garden in Golden Gate Park, or Ghirardelli Square. Ghirardelli Square has the added bonus of being right across the water from Alcatraz, since I do think that's supposed to be Alcatraz in the background there, plus it's close to several parks. Golden Gate park kinda fits with the Asian motif of the illustration, though, since it's got a Japanese garden and a Chinese style gazebo. Most of the other clues in the verse I have no idea about.

I think the gemstone is the half-circle above the XII.

Kinda looks like a turquoise, and a quick wiki-ing tells me that's associated with December, and the flower for December is a narcissus, which looks like what's on the clock there.

Note that there is an actual inhabited Treasure Island in San Francisco Bay.


There is, but it was also still an active military installation in the '80s.
