Where else? This town is always full of surprises..

2. I lived near a kind of crazy-old estate--

with naked statues along the wall. I bet some neighbors wanted to paint on a smock or something.

Grimes Poznikov -- Wharf's famed 'Human Jukebox'

By Kevin Fagan,
Chronicle Staff Writer
Nov 1, 2005

In the days before schizophrenia stole his wits, Grimes Poznikov played music on "The Mike Douglas Show" and was lauded by journalist Charles Kuralt as one of the most popular entertainment attractions in San Francisco. It was the 1970s and early 1980s -- and Mr. Poznikov, "The Automatic Human Jukebox," sat at Fisherman's Wharf in a refrigerator box playing songs for cash.

He was a very good musician by all accounts, a skill he always attributed to growing up in a house where everyone played an instrument and his mother was a locally famous singer.

But that was in the old days.
By the late 1980s, Mr. Poznikov's mental illness made him so erratic he could no longer perform, and he began sleeping in the streets. And that's how he died, from alcohol poisoning, on Thursday. A passer-by discovered him lying on a sidewalk near the corner of Caesar Chavez Street and Highway 101. He was 59.
"He was brilliant, but always missing a few cards in his deck," said his sister, Jenny Predpelski of Overland Park, Kan. "From the time he could talk, he could play any instrument from piano to trumpet and drums, and he was a very bright student.

10. I'm 74, I'm not that fond of living in the city, but I would make

an exception for SF, I think? Every time I go there I hate to leave. I spent my post college days in the Montrose area of Houston that had similar vibes back them, then transferred with my work to the Austin area back when it was much smaller and very cool. When it started to become a big city I left for the Texas Hill Country and have been here for the last 3 decades. However, like everywhere these days - things have changes. I have gotten old. But I still admire free-spirited progressive people and they are still around but no so much in the rural areas - with the housing crisis we now have I think a move back to the "mother earth" days of the 60s and 70s would be a good solution for many.

Didn't mean to ramble on but you peaked my interest!! ☮

11. SF has changed

Left living in SF Bay Area in 1983,
Finished MBA at Golden Gate Univ then.


But went back to visit my parents living there numerous times,
Had a first-cousin my age living in SF I would visit often too.
Go bar hopping, in Marina, SF’s Bermuda Triangle, North Beach,
And usually always ended the evening at Buena Vista,
Where I would bug bartender Paul Nolan about him getting older 😜
and his brother too 😊

Got familiar with Muni drivers on that cable car line,
cuz we always ‘caught’ our ride up the hill a bit, AND
just HANG ON😅
We … Let all the tourist wait, at cable turnaround below,
I swear I can remember only paying $1 a ride ea way,
that was likely in 1976 or 1977

😩The SF financial district has been “Manhattanized” now.

The tech billionaire a-holes on Broadway McMansions now

And drive to Duarte’s Tavern in Pescadero (South of Half Moon Bay),
for some artichoke soup, berry pie, cioppino on weekends 😍

In SF….it’s Scoma’s for my cioppino
Or Tadich Grill

And of course my favorite!! Golden Boy Pizza 😍

Tomasso’s 😍
Clam and Garlic pizza 😍

I’m too old to live in The City.
Too crowded, parking is a horror.

I think Carmel is more my style now.
And Carmel is chilly too.

9. The SF Twins

I used to see The Twins every so often.

Think the last time Insaw them was at that Diner,
Fog City Diner just kinda off Embarcadero,
Just north of Levi’s Plaza

Maybe back in 2002 or so

https://www.sfgate.com/local/article/Marian-and-Vivian-Brown-famous-San-Francisco-twins-16330809.php

…
That was how most San Francisco residents remembered Marian and Vivian Brown, the identical twins that became local celebrities and charmed the city for more than four decades — posing for magazine ads for IBM, Virgin Atlantic, Joe Boxer and Reebok, making public appearances at the Sir Francis Drake Hotel and the Red Devil Lounge and stopping on the sidewalk for constant photographs.
