I spent a week there many, many years ago. An awesome city. I loved it.

If you like q***rs and liberals...that is all that lives there. Me, I spent enough time there back in the late 60s and early 70s, stationed on Treasure Island.

As we might have said in the south (in a rare slip of manners), one can always count on JMHO to put a turd in the punchbowl.

We have been to your city twice. We found it beautiful, wonderful food and weather. Three out of four is not bad.

Now I am wondering what the fourth thing was that wasn't so great! Maybe cost, but my imagination says 'people', which is often the case since the city's culture of diversity allows some kooks to flourish. For me, that's what makes it interesting (though I have to say I am getting tired of influx of young, entitled rich tech kids who lack manners or a commitment to the city's well-being.)

You are correct. We found the people to be arrogantly snobbish.

The fun story is one of the restaurants. To UncleE's horror, I asked our waiter if the Chef would give me a salad dressing recipe. The waiter looked down his pug nose and informed me probably not. He went to ask. Lo and behold the Chef came out to meet me. He told me I could have the recipe in exchange for one of mine. I babbled about inventive recipes. He remained firm on wanting one of mine and my address. We did an exchange. He sent me a lovely note telling me his family and friends were greatly enjoying the recipe I gave him. I still use his salad dressing frequently.

The above is probably TMI; however, saved our perception, somewhat, of the citizenry of San Francisco.

Sorry you had some bad people experiences AuntiE. I think the chef is more indicative of the SF I know. Come back again and let us show you a better time.

I have been to 'Frisco numerous times, both for business and pleasure. It is a lovely city with many cultural delights to entertain one. However, I wouldn't want to reside there. Too cold for my old bones.

My father was head of security at the Quality inn on Van Ness and during the filming of The Enforcer. Clint Eastwood came in to my sisters birthday party and kissed her on the cheek. It was awesome and a huge thrill for her.

The climate is similar to Coos Bay. Wet winters warm dry summers. I loved walking around Angel island and visiting the presidio. My uncle worked in the S P tower and commuted from Pacifica driving to Daly city and getting on the BART. Fishermans warf was amazing and my Filipino step mother shopped there often

Did you have any true friends? You know the life long kind?
