Warning: Venting ahead....<br /><br />I was born & raised in the Mission Dist. of San Francisco. My dad was a house painter. We didn't have a lot of money, but we survived. I've either lived in or visited a few other cities around the world, Frankfurt, El Paso, Boston, Charleston S.C, Seattle, Portland. I can tell you that San Francisco is the most beautiful city I've ever seen. I still consider it my city, even though I haven't lived there in years. <br /><br />But my beautiful city now appears to be infested with a parasite more foul than any scene from the 1960's Height Ashbury (I know, I was there). Protests against the war in VietNam, regardless of your position on that subject, seemed to have more credibility than these so-called people spew. I can't believe some of these posters. Some of these folks don't appear to have two brain cells to rub together. <br /><br /> SF Protesters <br /><br />The park you see in many of these pictures is Dolores Park, across the street from the old Mission Dolores. This was one of my favorite hangouts. <br /><br />These people Pi$$ me off. :mad: They are all imports. I feel like making up my own poster and telling them to all go home and protest in there own towns and see how far they get. <br /><br />Any ideas for a poster are welcome. :rolleyes: <br /><br />-Joe

Joe, FWIW San Francisco is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It is also one the most unique in the US--the other being New York. <br /><br />Molinari's deli has a salami to die for.<br /><br />Take care,<br /><br />Jinx

Weather aside, I would give the other beautiful/unique city credit to New Orleans. Nothing is like SF or NO. NY, Chicago, LA...same.

I'll grant you New Orleans, but maybe I should limit my scope to Manhattan on NYC. Most of the others are "American Cities", with some individual flavorings<br /><br />BTW, New Orleans is the only city hosting a marathon that I know about where runners can drink beer and gorge along the way.<br /><br />Jinx
