Not today but the old timers certainly did refer to it as Frisco. The
newbies liked to think they live in the wealthier part of Cal, but I
got news for them, nowadays Frisco is poor white trash. Don't tell
Paloosie but I can remember when Frisco was wall to wall saloons and
whorehouses. Paloosie indeed reminds me of a Madame who worked her
way up on her back.
