Yeah, or amen.

I remember watching BART trains coming into and leaving Fremont during their pre-opening testing and thinking of them as being simply silver sausages.

I miss (the late) Bruce Brugmann's SF Bay Guardian -- [www.google.com]. Particularly I miss the photos of The City taken from Treasure Island, stacked four high on the page, showing how The City's skyline had changed from the 1950s(?) to the 1980s(?). BTW, and thanks to you, Alf, in doing some researching for this post, I've found there seems to be a currently-maintained SFBG website here -- [www.sfbg.com]. They have a back-issues archive that they say they're expanding.

Looking at Bruce's photos from TI, and remembering a time when the skyline had a few tall buildings and hills in the background, instead of a skyline that looks like an ant's version of a curb, with no hill in the background, I'm inclined to say that tall buildings aren't a city but are the life-support system for a city.

Ok, back to a better time --
