re: Name a city that you appreciate that others tend to look down on...

Came here to say San Fran as well. I've got family there so been there several times the last time being mid 2016. Rented a car that trip and driving around was surprisingly easy. Took a boat out from Fisherman's Wharf to fish for half a day. Didn't save up enough time for a Giants game. Overall trip was great and I'd go back.
