Does anyone here realize that Herb Caen probably got the idea from Emperor Norton?

Or am I the only one who reads the history books? (well, ok, wikipedia, but STILL…)

“No one from Frisco calls it “Frisco” only “outsiders” LOL too many natives to count call it Frisco….nobody cares…call it what you want, just don’t call it San Fran.

George, if it makes you feel better I agree you probably knew Herb Caen better than I did, since I didn’t know him well at all. (What’s more, I didn’t particularly like him.)

Also feel free to call me an SF-wannabe, if it makes you happy. I’ve lived in the Bay Area continuously since the mid-1970s.

I actually hardly ever call the city Frisco, but thinking this is an important issue seems silly to me.

What I dislike more is “San-Fran.”

I lived in The City for almost 20 years. It’s never time to loosen up on this subject…

Only SF wannabes who come from elsewhere call it Frisco…

And that was long before the advent of Mr. Caen. You may have been with his coterie, I spent time with the man himself in his home on a number of occasions.
