San Francisco, fun to visit but I wouldn't want to live there. I have been hearing that all my life. We are four generations of east bay residents. San Francisco is a lot of things to a lot of people, but it's crowded, has rushing people, confusing, expensive, foggy. Sometimes rude, most of the time friendly. Wonderful rich history, which includes bawdy behavior. I love it as long as it stays on it's side of the bay.
PS - It also has a pretty good baseball team.
San Francisco also has Lake Street.
Okay, maybe it's not iconic or anything, except to my family.
The day my grandfather was born, in the 1920's, he was left on a doorstep at a house on Lake Street. The homeowners took him in and went on to raise him.
They named him John Lake. This city will always be a bit special to me.
