Letter to the editor

Dear Sir,

As a San Francisco native I’d like to chime in regarding Ms. Varnish, the Barbary Coast, and fleshpots. I’m not sure how our fair city became mixed up in the talcum powder wars, but I’m here to say there’s nobody named Ethel on Jackson Street, and nobody calls it “Frisco.”

Regards,

Shrimp Boy Chow
