San Francisco is an hour from Sonoma Valley and the majority of visitors to Sonoma Valley usually make a stop in "The City" before heading up to wine country. This week, Lynn Bruni-Perkins of SF Travel talks what makes San Francisco special, from the culture of social movements, Burning Man, and the technology that brought us the iPhone, to the next phase of technology like AI and self-driving cars (Waymo, for good or ill) as well as social movements coming on the horizon. She also directly answers critics who deride San Francisco, offering some common-sense ideas and points about the City by the Bay.
Before she good-naturedly answers visitor questions, she opines on the fact that "Dutch crunch" bread - a northern California invention - is making it's way south to LA, and reacts to a travel blogger's contention that you should choose your next destination by your astronomical sign. (We look forward to seeing all you Taureses/Tauri soon...)
And when she does answer YOUR Sonoma questions, as all our podcast guests do, she takes on:
What are all those yellow flowers in the fields?
Can I just buy tickets to Alcatraz at the wharf?
Can I get married at San Francisco’s City Hall?
Do I need a car to get around San Francisco?
Where can I find Pliny the Younger? (The beer, not the first century Roman author)
How can I get to San Francisco Airport without uber or lyft?
