And a tribute to Chet Helms
San Francisco (like Paris) is beyond words and cliches.
It sometimes feels impossible to come up with something adequate to describe a town like this
and most of it has all been said at vt already...
If there is a soundtrack of the City playing in my head, it is usually the first 8 bars of Spencer Dryden drums:
'Elle a les voitures droles'
Say "hi" or honk if like me
you've got it bad for San Francisco.
