is a line from a song that I just heard on the radio. I'm not from San Francisco either, but Hunter's Bar is right next to where I grew up in Sheffield. Which songs namecheck where you're from?

"Tallahassee Lassie" and that Aerosmith song that goes something like "Take me back to south Tallahassee" (which is funny because there's still nothing on the southside and it implies that South Tallahassee is its own community).

Oh, and obviously The Mountain Goats. Tallahassee LP, the title track, and then "Southwood Plantation Road".

but i guess now that I'm officially a resident of SF, plenty of songs fit the bill. but for our purposes, i'll take "Bammer Weed" by RBL Posse. ("we don't smoke dat shit in the SFC")
