Just a little query.
I was there in '65, and worked on Market, and I don't recall any cable car line going from anywhere near Twin Peaks to Market street. Where the heck did you drive to in order to catch a car downtown, Van Ness and California, or down to the wharf?
The California line went all the way to Van Ness, so you probably just walked there from the lot. Cool trip, past the Fairmont every morning. I was on the other end of Market, but probably on the bus that almost nailed you as you crossed Van Ness.
Small whatever....
I love 'Frisco. I used to live in The Bay Area and would take BART to The City all the time, (I lived in Santa Clara.)
I loved the Presidio, the aquarium, the architecture, the hills, North Beach, Golden Gate park, and places right outside like Henry Coe, Felton, Boulder, Highway 17 and the Marin Headlands.
I used to love reading Herb Caen, Stan Delaplane, Charlie McCabe and Scott Ostler before he got stuck permanently in Sports, I also liked reading Ruthe Stein and the Outdoors guy, Tom Stienstra (sp?.)
It's too bad it is such an evil city, just like Ithica, another of my favorite cities because of the Finger Lakes and Gorges areas, but inhabited by purely evil politicians, (in my opinion.)
Thanks for this Christmas card, Billybob!
Twenty years ago one of the Dominican brothers at St Vincent's in San Rafael showed me the still quite visible ruts made by the old Wells Fargo wagon. I thought that was so cool.
Poignant and wistful...
Merry Christmas, my Friend!
