It's weird; I grew up in a San Jose suburb and never once heard of San Francisco referred to as "the city" or "The City". I heard "Frisco", of all things, and "SF", but never "the city".
I have no idea what changed.
- taurath 13y agoWhen did you grow up there? I've heard those terms used extremely commonly from 2002 onwards
- saraid216 13y agoI was born in 1984 and left in 2005. So I guess I missed the start of it. I wonder what happened in 2002.
- greghinch 13y agoI was born in 81 in the north bay, then and now we always said "the city". Possibly geographic?
- saraid216 13y agoAh. I was South Bay. That might actually explain it.
