I was in SF too, having just moved there from Florida. Had an apartment on Market Street. Across the street was a Black Muslim bakery. I went in to buy a bean pie, GOD if looks could kill I would have been dead (but fortunately they can't). The place never had any business. And, there were often several black Cadillacs parked in back -- the same kind of car that was seen at the killings. I remarked to my boyfriend, "Look, black Cadillacs -- wonder if it's them?" One morning we were awakened by the sound of breaking glass and barking dogs and shouting cops. Yep. It WAS them. And I lived right across the street from them!

You were in SF?

I'll pray harder for you my friend ;o) My wife was out there a few years ago - said it was beautiful, but very different!

LOL! Silverwoman was born in San Fran. When I was there I thought they were some of the nicest people. "Boy," they would ask, "you from Texas?" "Uh, acually Oklahoma..." I would reply. "Oh!" they would utter, trying to figure out what I had just said.

What a story! Thanks for sharing that. I remember the black Caddies. We went to Ghiradelli (sp) Square and someone showed us where the bullet nicked a wall, killing some old man, I believe. And you'e right about those looks--you never forget!
