I
feel so lucky and proud to be born in the most beautiful
city in the world. Yet, when I'm working in the financial
district or walking in a neighborhood, I sometimes feel
like a stranger in a strange land. It is rare when I meet
someone who is a native; but when I do, we always get a
kick out of talking about our San Franciscan roots.
The conversation
usually strikes up with excitement as we try to discover
a common memory, high school, or person that each of us can
relate to in our past. Once there, we are suddenly enriched
by the camaraderie we have both discovered.
Several years ago, an email was circulating
about “You
know you are a native San Franciscan if……” that
generated a lot of excitement and enthusiasm as it routed
through the
internet. As the interest levels escalated; and because of
my love for San Francisco, I decided to create the San
Francisco Native Jamboree.
I
hope you enjoy and embrace the spirit of our efforts by engaging
in sharing San
Francisco memories and nostalgia, making new friends, and
returning year after year to meet again!
