There are already some great postings here. Bill - I remember that smell on the old Embarcadero; the bay, the creosote impregnated piers, a hint of diesel and of course, all types of seafood and spices from the food shacks. Lotsa great memories and that's what it's all about. Each one triggers a memory that someone else had.

Ron & Pam said I get to judge this contest. Too cool! Some great postings - It'll be hard. Let's close it at 5:00 p.m. tomorrow (7/14/06). That'll give folks a chance to get in a few more of their San Francisco memories. If you haven't looked, see what's there at http://www.sfgenealogy.com/boards/sfmemory/messages/177.html Thanks all - it's so much fun to look back at how it was. Jim James R.
