Anybody here familiar with the FRISCO-MAN monthly periodical? I stumbled across it today. Great newsletter put out by the Frisco railroad Co years ago for the employees. Check it out.

  • Frisco is a derogatory name for San Francisco, but those train pictures are very cool.

    I have heard that about the name but I could never figure out why? Can you throw a little on the subject?

    I'ld like to consider myself among the "young and hip" but that would be doing a great disservice to the term!
  • As San Francisco transitioned from a bawdy, lawless town of 49ers (now 9 and 1) to a sophisticated major city in America in the mid-20th century, they wanted to lose any semblance of their vulgar history.

    Emperor Norton, a citizen of San Francisco and the self-proclaimed Norton I - Emperor of the United States wanted a $25 fine levied to anyone who uttered the name "Frisco" and Herb Caen, the much-loved S.F. Chronicle columnist joined in to condemn the term. “Don’t call it Frisco. Don’t ask me why. Just don’t.”
