Might allow Bob? Where do you think the United Nations Charter was
written?
Of course, by the time I was working in The City, Sally Stanford had
aged and
mellowed enough that she moved across the Golden Gate to Sausalito where
she had her "Valhalla" restaurant. She was so accepted there that she
was
elected to the City Council.
The joke among locals then was to the effect that free love among the
hippies
and the gay community had forced her out of her previous business and
into
the restaurant business.
We used to go over the Dunbarton Bridge to the Fremont Drag Strip from
Menlo Park. I had my first glider ride at the airport next to the
strip. I think
that area and the farmland around it is all high $$$ housing today. The
Half Moon Bay area may be just remote enough that the real estate hasn't
reached that level of desirability. At least they don't have a BART
link.
The green coalition certainly wouldn't want anything as nasty as a drag
strip defiling the California Coastline.
