Actually, the bay area's MLS team is named the San Jose Earthquakes.
Re: the great fire. my great-great-great grandparents lost their home to the fire and lived with their young family in a literal shack cobbled together from fire debris until their home could be properly rebuilt. The story of their resilience is passed down as a point of pride from generation to generation in our family.
Thinking about what they went through, and how they survived it, helps put my family's current "struggles" into perspective, and gives me hope. Yeah, we currently have no income other than unemployment, but at least we have a home to call home in a city that isn't utterly decimated.
In fact, next year will mark the 150th anniversary of the great fire.
