Of course I remember what The City used to be when I graduated from Hastings in 1981. But no need for nostalgia because a Lurie (Haas/Levi Strauss) is now the mayor. When San Francisco loses track, the people with a permanent investment in The City will take charge again to fix it. That's what it means to really love the greatest city in America, if not the planet.
Remember how it was before the tech boom started? San Francisco had this “thick as thieves “ clubby thing going on?

This all started with the Vigilance Committees.
Thanks for reading, Nancy.
When you compile your California history pieces into a book I will be buying three copies.
Will be complete by summer, then I’ll probably make a Kindle version. Maybe a print one if I sense there’s any interest.
BTW. I wrote an historical novel set in Jamaica in the days of the buccaneers that went nowhere. If you want to take a look, download the free sample.
