re: Summer in San Francisco! Behold the magnificent Golden Gate Bridge. 60°F

Back in August 2016, I left where I was staying at the time in Fremont, where it was hovering around 90 deg and bright and sunny, and drove into SF to catch up with a buddy of mine from Baton Rouge who moved there in 03.

He and his old lady live at the top of Pacheco St. I got there and the temp gauge was reading 54 deg and it was overcast and grey. I got out and went what the frick? My bud came out to get me and mentioned that he should have told me to bring a jacket. Like, no shite, lol. I was freezing in shorts and a thin t shirt.

Blew my mind.

Mark Twain famously said that the coldest winter he ever spent was a summer in San Francisco

quote:

---

I'll take San Francisco weather and day over Louisiana

I'm really looking forward to the next 6 months of weather

This thread made me go down the rabbit hole of GGB suicides. A man, in 1993, murdered his wife, then went to the bridge, threw his 3 year old daughter off, then jumped.

Not even sure what the point of the original post or photo is. If it’s a shot at San Fran because it’s sixty degrees in August then that’s a wild take to have.

Come spend a 7 month summer in the gulf coast where it hits 85 every day and then complain about getting a 60 degree day in August

I spent a weekend there one night.

We went to SF once in August too, froze our asses off.

Drive to Carmel, 73 degrees and beautiful. Drive back into SF and it’s 50 and windy

When I was in San Fran in June of this year, I thought the city itself sucked. A couple of decent neighborhoods but a lot of boring neighborhoods or just dirty crap without much life.

There are a lot of bland and crappy parts of SF. I've never been impressed by the usual touristy places like Fisherman's Wharf, the Financial District, the Embarcadero, etc.

But on the other hand, neighborhoods like Nob Hill, Russian Hill, Chinatown, Japantown, and areas around the Presidio are terrific IMO...just to name a few.

Beats the Lousy Lump ove the industrial canal

I used to work in the Financial District in the City (SF). There would be days when the temperature in SF would be in the low 60s and the temperature in Concord, which was approximately 30 miles away, would be in the low 90s.
