I hear it is heading for a red state.
No, no, no. I'ts heading for those godless commies in China.
But where will you go for authentic (even if spoiled) Chinese food?

San Francisco!

Dislexics of the world, untie!


Ah, yes. Chinese food in SF. A treat.
A great thing about SF, of course, is that the righties hate it.

I don't hate San Francisco - I mean they invented Rice-A-Roni.



Great place to visit. Nothing beats a Saturday or Sunday morning at Pier
39.

We saw the Pacific fleet come in last time I was there. Quite a site to
see.

S.F.'s mayor, as well as Atlanta's were deemed two of the ten best
mayors in the world. Naples, FL, wasn't on the list.....

I will never set foot in the state of California again - ever.

The first time was quite enough.

Freakin' earthquakes.

Later,

Tom

We have them so cows give milkshakes. And I can think of a lot of better
places to spend Sat or Sun morning than at Pier 39.

Next time you;re out there, check out the Dead Fish Restaurant overlooking
the Sacremento River.

http://www.thedeadfish.com/

You'll see a beautiful union-built bridge. Two of them, in fact. The newer
one is named after a union worker who helped build the first one.
I took the construction elevator up to the top of the new bridge towers
before it was completed, scariest ride of my life, for the view and to
take some photos for a magazine.

Food was pretty decent at the Dead Fish.

Was Vieira's before. Last time I was there for a buddies birthday, just
before they were to leave for Europe the next day. He could not handle the
excitement. Had Triple bypass the next morning. Friend has written a novel
with the Golden Gate Bridge featured predominately. So there son arranged a
tour of the bridge. The elevator to the top holds 2 and is a screened in
lift. Even the bottom is expanded metal. She said that was rather
disconcerting.

San Fran is great.......but the people living there are nuts......for more
than one reason.



California, the Granola state. Those that are not fruits or nuts are
flakes.

That does not say much for their choices.

Yeah, really. It is a huge tourist trap.

SF has a lot to offer. For restaurants, I like the Dead Fish, Alfreds,
John's Grill (atmosphere), North Beach Restaurant, Masa's and a couple of
others. Alfreds is my top choice usually.


Dead Fish is 30 miles out of SF. St. Francis Grill in the Mission for
lunch. Favorite was Buco Giovanni's, but they have closed. I think
Giovanni passed on. We go to the North Beach once in a while, as my buddy
is good friends with Bruno the owner. Funny thing, Bruno is a very
conservative Republican, and Willy Brown and all the very liberal pols hang
out there. Bruno does have fun tho. Try the Friday buffet at the
California Culinary Academy on Polk. Fantastic spread, for a reasonable
price. About $35 person, and the wine is not marked up 3x. The Cliff House
for a sunset cocktail. The Buena Vista for Irish Coffee and for breakfast /
brunch.

JohnH,
Kevin ranked the mayors, and SF and Atl were in the top 10.

Should we start guessing where you fit in those choices...or combination
thereof?
