Did you grow up in the Bay Area? I lived for seven years in Vallejo as a kid. I remember Cub Scout trips to “The City” for tours of Chinatown. It was a great time.
i grew up in San Jose... always loved going to SF, as a kid and adult... it’s truly it’s own place... went to Candlestick several times... and of course, went to plenty of San Jose Giants games too!
