Agree with you 110% . . . I lived in "The City" for nearly four years while attending college. After that period I lived and worked in Santa Clara while working on my MBA. My brother worked for three mayors of San Francisco (Alioto, Mosconi, Feinstein) and was a close personal aide and speech writer for Mosconi. He still works in downtown San Francisco.

I know SF really, really well. But I no longer love it. That is impossible today. "The City" that I loved is gone into a time warp and now is just a misty memory. SF has been ruined the same way other fine cities in the state of "Californicated" have been ruined: Lowered expectations for students; illegal immigration (Hispanics, Russkies, etc.); far to much crowding or "population density;" too many SUV's being driven by angry, exhausted workers; escalating costs of living (everything is UP); greedy city and state tax collectors; housing costs have crashed through the roof; college costs that will soon bankrupt the middle class; and all sorts of strange inner city activity most people just write off as "gangland USA." Very sad, but totally true. All of it is really a tragic commentary on our society at large today.

But I still have a list of many of my favorite restauants that have been open for over 25 years. I think about visiting San Francisco more frequently today because Oregon is going the same way. Oh, well . . .

Notice he doesn't refer to "His kids", Homos de-populate quite quickly.

There is no such animal today as a southside chicago republican, is there?

I thought I was the last one to leave 20 years ago, I even shut off the lights (59th and Kedzie).

I guess your the last one languishing there in the dark:)

Mentioning "Mark Morford" and "Smoky Backroom" in the same thread is actually pretty redundant...

I'm kind of like the Ivory-Billed Woodpecker -- believed to be extinct, but once in a while there is an unconfirmed sighting.

I'm pretty sure Morford is really Karl Rove, writing under a pseudonym. I can't think of anything more effective in registering new Republican voters than wide distribution of Morford's work. ;)

500 words, null semantic content.

Reads like a rough draft of a suicide note for when Bush gets re-elected.
