I hope I don’t sound chauvinistic, but the statement from Richard Reinhardt’s article on San Francisco in the April issue about “upstart towns like … San Jose” struck a nerve. After all, San Jose was founded in 1777, a year after Captain de Anza was scouting the area that would, quite a bit later, become San Francisco. Perhaps we in San Jose should regard San Francisco as the upstart town that shares our bay!
