I happened to tweet to someone (hi, @jonk!) that Herb Caen always used to refer to San Francisco as “The City”, and people who call it “Frisco” are probably from Los Angeles.
…Well, today I got the following message from Twitter:
Herb Caen (HerbCaen) is now following your tweets on Twitter.
…Herb Caen died in 1997, aged 80.
…I hate bots.
…but I followed “him” anyway.
and here was me thinking (knowing) that “The City” starts at Temple Bar and includes the Mansion House and the Tower and St Paul’s Cathedral.
Silly you… 🙂
