What is it about San Fran?

In the past two weeks, I had two friends pack up their things and move to San Francisco.  I used to think maybe it was something they pumped into the water at BU, but it turns out you don't have to be a Terrier alum to dream of moving to San Francisco.  Perhaps too much Full House at a young age has convinced us all that we'll get in to some mixed up antics, but ultimately the Beach Boys will show up and Mr. Bear and/or Danny Tanner will help us learn a really important lesson about treating each other kindly.  I mean if that were the case, maybe I too would head out west.


Last night I asked my sister, "If you could move anywhere for two years and you would automatically get to live in a nice house or apartment, where would you move to?" She said, "San Francisco."  Her wiser husband said, "Paris." 

My most reliable source of information, Wikipedia tells me that it is the second most densely populated city behind New York.  Yikes!  That's a lot of people.  I would have to say I really enjoy snow and heat more than temperate weather...I think.  Maybe the weather doesn't feel so temperate when you are packed like sardines on the sidewalk. 

Before I dig my own grave, I have to admit, I have never been to San Francisco.  Also, my friend who just moved there told me about how her Cali friends  shamed her into going to a farmer's market, and I am that kind of friend.  However, I don't know that I am instantly convinced that San Fran should be my dream destination.  At the kick off to my boycott of San Francisco, I would like to start a "East Coast, Best Coast" campaign to prevent any further cross-country moves.   Or maybe, "When your quarter life crisis strikes, and you want to chase your dreams, how about you chase them in where you can literally hear freedom ring?"  That might need to be a condensed a bit. 

Could anyone edit this image for me so it reads East Coast, and maybe let's replace the wave with some autumnal foliage? Then I can get started on screen printing tees and postcards.
