True San Franciscan's can spot a false economy from a mile away.murphstahoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17378354136823393492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4714426597280694490.post-5635678615996451692008-09-03T08:24:00.000-07:002008-09-03T08:24:00.000-07:00Hey Akit - you are the man!!!Love reading ur stuff...Hey Akit - you are the man!!!<BR/><BR/>Love reading ur stuff bro - I lived in SF for 4 years but I'm originally from NYC - man, talk about hating tourists - i can totally understand the sentiments we would have towards tourists, annoying, slow, blocking traffic all the time cause they walk around like retarded mice in those mazes that can't find the cheese. The US Open is in New York right now I see all these tourists all over the 7 train when usually there aren't as much - they are really damn funny, they ride the subways like paranoid recent convicts walking into prison for the first time trying to look confident but so utterly lost and scared to make eye contact. <BR/><BR/>Alrite man, keep writing Akit, and next time i'm in SF, i will check out some of those dining preferences u put up!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4714426597280694490.post-7197181055664185512008-09-02T16:15:00.000-07:002008-09-02T16:15:00.000-07:00Wow, this list makes "True" San Franciscans sound ...Wow, this list makes "True" San Franciscans sound super whiney.<BR/><BR/>As a true SFer myself, I couldn't disagree with you more on a few of your points. In particular, the tourists. I love the tourists. We NEED the tourists. If you hate tourists, you shouldn't live in SF, or any large city. Tourists bring in much needed revenue, and also make walking around the City more entertaining. When I am not in the mood, I can choose to stay in areas where they don't frequent. And, if I need to get somewhere, as a true SFer I know better than to try the F-Market or Cable Cars. Walking is faster.<BR/><BR/>I will agree with you on BART. When presented the choice, I'll go with BART 100% of the time.anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16797427341481491179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4714426597280694490.post-5950334343836823442008-09-01T16:53:00.000-07:002008-09-01T16:53:00.000-07:00you actually can save .75% sales tax by heading up...you actually can save .75% sales tax by heading up to Novato (sales tax 7.75%), but who has time to head up to Marin, full of rich people?Whole Wheat Toasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16200744024405247144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4714426597280694490.post-34824602712531717802008-09-01T02:27:00.000-07:002008-09-01T02:27:00.000-07:00You hate touristsVery San Franciscan, but man, tha...<I>You hate tourists</I><BR/><BR/>Very San Franciscan, but man, that's obnoxious.troymccluresfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13720038096848354854noreply@blogger.com
