Well, I am from San Francisco and I do miss the culture there but I don't think I'm a snob and I don't think San Franciscans in general are snobby -- you're as apt to see them dressed to the nines to go to ballet one day and in jeans and t-shirt to shoot darts the next. Truth be told, I'm not convinced any city (except, maybe, Paris, France) can really be called a snobby city. Just because a city has arts, good food doesn't make the people snobby. It simply makes them living in an area with diversity.

However, do I feel at least a little sorry for those who don't live in or near San Francisco? Who haven't had a chance to have an Irish coffee on a Sunday morning at the Buena Vista or the brunch at the Alta Mira? You betchya! I love my city and always will. But I really don't think it is better than other cities (except, of course, LA) -- it is my City and holds my heart. I expect that most feel the same about their towns and cities.
