I am not sure what started the Native San Franciscan conversation but I want to share my experience. I was born and raised in San Francisco, the first (in 100 years) of my family line on all sides to be born other than the Midwest, my sister was the second. Many of my family came to San Francisco during the war to work in the ship yards, most stayed after the war but not everyone liked it here. I didn't know until I was 20 years old and working Downtown at Harvey's Kitchen in The City as a waitress that there were those who considered it unusual. I would be asked by the tourist: "Where are you from?" "From San Francisco." "No, Where were you born?" "San Francisco!" "No one is actually born in San Francisco." I would shrug my shoulders as I did not know what else to say and most were so stunned they did not know what else to ask. Donna
