homebucker - thanks for the story & link. I am glad to see that the Fox Plaza is not on the list as I live there. With that said the Fox Plaza is the midst of being braced for the next Big One.

Can the above buildings be retrofitted I wonder?

^ Most structures can be retrofitted. It's more the cost that's the issue.

the hotel at the airport is now becoming visible from Caltrain

Was the former CAA building at 100 Van Ness retrofitted while it was open during conversion? If not, it would be unbelievable negligence.

Change of the skyline in this area. As a reminder the site was where Flax art supply store was for many years.

1699 Market St. at Valencia St.

really cool video, but lol at this clueless LA resident trying to tell hundreds of thousands of SF natives, living and dead, who use/have used the name "Frisco" for well over a century, that they can't call SF "Frisco".

Herb Caen was a transplant (surprise) from Sacramento who later admitted that he was wrong to claim that people shouldn't call it Frisco, because people (specifically, working class people) had been calling it Frisco forever, and it wasn't his place to tell them what they could call their city.

Of course SF's upper class loves to perpetuate the "no Frisco" thing, though, and they control the messaging, because rich people control everything, as always...you know, the media, tourism industry , etc. So then you have tourists and transplants who get told not say Frisco, and they just go along with it, which is further reinforced by the fact that they're surrounded by fellow clueless newbies, in a city where only 20% of the residents are natives (let alone natives of the demographics who regularly say "Frisco"...a significant minority to be fair, but still a minority).

Haha I wasn't planning to post them on a blog or anything. I just wanted to how SF is like personally.

Thanks for the links!

Strange: I've literally never, ever heard anyone who lives in the city call it "Frisco" without irony or sarcasm.

Me either, and I know and have worked with many natives of various ages. Several of my friends are third generation or more.

I've heard it plenty of times.

mt_climber13 · #**9200** Posted **Jun 26, 2018, 1:34 AM**

I know plenty of people inside and outside of Frisco that say it. It's a part of California and Bay Area lingo.
