The San Francisco Citizen

Before, you had to get your fix of Willie Brown by showing up at trials or waiting for someone to ask his opinion about “cows and chickens and goats and other things.” But no longer. Willie Brown has resurrected Larry King’s USA Today column!

Back in the day, it was only Larry who could give us a definitive ”weekly offering studded with plugs, superlatives and dropped names.” But Larry’s been busy doing other things lately, so he’s passed the baton to Willie.

Quién es este hombre? 

So which mots of the debut column are the most bon? How about:

These valet parkers standing in front of San Francisco’s Conservatory of Flowers in Golden Gate Park look a little cold. The temperature is in the fifties and the wind is swirling around. That can feel like freezing if you’re not ready for it so that gives rise to the famous “coldest winter I ever saw was the summer I spent in San Francisco” quote.  

But it never snows in summer in San Francisco, so it’s not all that bad. And you can always look forward to October, when average temperatures are higher than those in June. Stay warm!
