"…As you drive home along Grant Ave. on The Hill, you see the young newlyweds
who just moved into the apartment next door, painting the walls in their uncurtained
living room and you feel a twinge of envy. They have a lifetime before
them - a lifetime to fall in love with the wonderful town you've known
so long, so long." -- Herb Caen 1960
For 53 years Herb Caen wrote a daily column about the city he called
"Baghdad by the Bay."
