New York v. San Francisco - The Smackdown?
I'm delighted to see a lively commentary on my Tales of the City in San Francisco, but surprised to see how much shade my New York friends are throwing westwards. Any San Franciscans care to respond?
Myself? I'm an Easterner at heart, but enjoy my visits - now. When I was 21, I took a long trip to visit my brother in Berkeley and it was not a great one. That was less a function of the city than of traveling too young alone and not knowing how to travel. I hated Paris on my first visit at 16 as well because I was lonely. I went back to Paris at 30 and fell in love with the city, and returned to San Francisco at 40 and if I didn't leave my heart there (nor my sperm, Peter . . .) I now have so many good friends there; Peter, Mark, Paul, Christopher and now David. I am sure I will be visiting more frequently, but please do not apply to be a San Franciscan friend of mine without an Old or New testament name. Apostolic friends! Collect the whole set!
