San Fran is pretty cool I guess.

It lacks diversity though. I opted to visit Birmingham ALabama this Fourth of July becuase of that reason.

I went to San Francisco some years back and thoroughly enjoyed it. Very chilly place though. That wind cuts right through you. Went to a restaurant called 'The Stinking Rose', or something similar, where every dish had garlic in it. Definitely a very interesting city, and one I'd like to return to someday.

I'm born, raised, and still live in SF. If you can handle non traditional seasons, then this is your place. Most of the summers are spent shrouded in fog, especially if you live in the Sunset, Outer Mission, or near SFSU. Summer kicks in around mid-Sept and lasts for about a month. If you want heat, it's only a 20 min BART ride or car ride.

In order to get around the city, I recommend taking the bus and BART (yay strike was averted). Parking is an expensive pain and nobody knows how to drive around here. Hopefully you will be living in a 'hood that has multiple buses running throughout. If you have more than one, then you will be fine. Cars are good for weekend trips outside of the city.

There's always something going on here. We are in festival season, so check out any 'hood festivals coming up. There's always free concert at Stern Grove on Sundays. Just get out and explore and learn some history along the way.

People are always interesting. From the business types to bike messengers, to homeless. If you aren't used to city living, you may be in for an awakening, but for the most part SF is pretty laid back.

Where are you from?


I am from Chicago...thanks for the info smile
