I thought Manhattan, KS might sneak in after reading your blog last year.

Remembered something else kind of weird. Went to the drive in near the Cow Palace one night to see some motorcycle movie and members of the SF branch of the Hell’s Angels were out in front signing autographs. It was nuts!

Loved reading your rankings and funny you should mention Kezar Stadium. How eerie that must have been to meet the family. It made me ponder my time there. I was living in San Francisco in 1967-68 when I was in my late teens. (I lived about 1 mile from Candlestick). I got to experience the craziness of Haight-Asbury, the riots at the Induction Center for the Army in Oakland, snd of all places, I was working for the Selective Service System in SF. I got to see Willie Mays and Willie McCovey, I got to see the 49′ers play at Kezar,saw the Houston Oilers play the Raiders and Jim Nabors sang the National Anthem. And to top it all off, I was going to work one morning on the #9 Bryant bus and saw them shooting the beginning scene of the car chase in ‘Bullitt’ there at a car wash on Potrero Circle. Thanks for jogging my memory, had a nice ride down memory lane.
