Well, I can't say enough good things about Frisco. Everyone ought to go, at least for a visit, once in their lives. If nothing else the agreeable weather all year round is worth the trip. Perhaps a carryover from the sykodelik '60s, the local authorities seemed a little more tolerant of transients, wanderers, etc. But I'm talkin' almost a quarter of a century ago - don't have a clue what's it like now.

To be fair, though, there were some drawbacks. One: maybe it was my imagination, but I felt a lot of tremors out there. The ground seemed awfully shakey, and I expected any minute a hole would open up underneath me as I was walking down the street and swallow me whole. The tremors were most noticeable at the most inopportune times, like waiting on the eleventh floor for an elevator. And Two: if you plan on doing the conventional thing, like work a job and rent/buy a dwelling, it's really expensive.
