The San Francisco Thread

[stuporfly]

I don't know if it's the best bar in San Francisco, but one of my favorite spots is Thee Parkside.

Zeitgeist is kind of overwhelming.

why are you not allowed to say Frisco instead of San Francisco?

Why do the San Franciscians get pissed off with this?

I don't want to say anything to offend any of them

[dorkfish]

Do people call London "Don"?

[Young blood]

"LO-LO"

[LunaVC]

[SFChrissy]

Nobody here says that dumb word except tourists or people who don't live here.
It's unnecessary and just plain retarded.

[real talk]

The only people I ever hear get up in arms about "Frisco" are people who moved here a long time ago and want to have something to act superior about to tourists. The people that I've met that were born and raised here (in the city) totally say Frisco whenever they want to and wear hats and clothes that say it and it's also in songs from artists in the Bay Area in non-ironic fashion.

Personally, I don't say it because it sounds cheesy to me. I don't say N'awlins either. I do say Ohia sometimes.

This is my opinion and that's all I've got to say about that.

The only people who bullshit about knowing "real san franciscans" who say that retarded word and claim to know jack shit about why someone hates something so obviously retarded do so just to be argumentative. And I know about being argumentative.

Masterful.

I say ****** sometimes.

[real talk]

I neither understand the connection nor believe your claim.

[jackstraw94086]

I wish I could have posted that.

[jackstraw94086]

Is ****** an OK word because you know some black folks who say it?

[real talk]

Specious, Mr. Straw, maannn.

It's an okay word when there aren't any around. Sometimes when there are some around. Fuck it, the word's cool.

[wmgaretjax]

specious is a good word.

you know damn well that if you poll 10 people in SF, "real" or not, you'll get about 8 or 9 people who hate the word. I'd even include tourists in that 10 since most are not that stupid (regardless of your self-righteous, trumped up claim that I despise all of them)

[wmgaretjax]

does SF have some kind of massive tourist industry that i wasn't aware of. I've been there a couple dozen times and I've never noticed it being that bad...

[Mr.Nipples]

weve got our own blimp tours now

[stinkbutt]

When I was in Oakland I kept saying Frisco

Most of the touristy stuff is in North Beach and the wharf. Also quite a few shopping downtown. The ones that venture throughout the rest of the city are generally crafty enough to not be noticed or are probably reasonably cool, by virtue of their desire to explore the rest of the city.

I see that damn blimp all the time. Once I spot it I can't stop looking back at it even know I know damn well it's not going to be far from where it just was. It must be destroyed. It costs bank to get on that thing I hear.

I'm losing my eastward bay view in a couple weeks. I'm pissed. I'm now going to have a commanding view of the fabulous china basin.
