No parking lot....it's low-income housing now, er i mean..."affordable housing"...strangely enough crime has dropped down dramatically.

I never say that, I tend to smack people who call it "Frisco." The only people I know who say it are out of towners.

Gooder,

Just wondering,...did you know any of the uniformed Officers that worked at the Towers (back when people actually lived there)?

Some of my buddies were out there to video tape the demolition as well. Something way overdue...

PM me...

Oh, and I have lived in NorCal my whole life and I have always used Frisco and only have used "the city" when shadily refering to my current location.

I say "Frisco" too as well as "San Fran" and I go to school there and lived in the east bay area all my life. I normally say "San Francisco" though. Hearing people say "the city" makes me feel as if they live in a farm or the countryside. :banana:

ah yes, Tha Swamp. I didn't live in the projects but lived close enough to feel the effects (ie. the drugs, gangs, murders). I lived on Peabody Street. Usually folks who live The City and new of this little area called Sunnydale would always be like...ooooh you live there. It's not nearly as bad as it used to be.

I'm the only one here from Woodacre. It's a small town 20 minutes (west) on San Rafael in the North Bay. It's such a small tome we don't even have mail service in town. You must have a P.O box. Plus not one street light or stop light. Just a hand full of stop signs. A great little town.

welcome aboard.
