We return again for an installment of this ofttimes confusing feature, in which we ask those ensconced too cozily in your SF bubbles to take a step back, summon your inner C.W. Nevius, and try to understand why some folks just don't appreciate the way we do things here — if for nothing else than to enjoy an ironic chuckle at our own expense. If all of this seems too difficult, please refer to our other recurring feature, 7 Reasons to Love San Francisco, and be on your merry way. [ MORE]  | San Franciscans may be anti-corporate in their politics, but the nation's tourists who visit here just might be fascinated enough with our brands to make them stops on their sight-seeing trips. That's what San Francisco Travel hopes anyway, and they're looking to make Levi's Plaza more of a tourist destination, as well as other corporate headquarters associated with the city....

The crash yanked the noted Rookie of the Year out for the rest of the season. Posey has since refused to return any of Cousins' apologetic phone calls. Which is understandable. He's hurt. We're hurt.
