Terrific New 1948 Edition -- August 26, 2023

San Francisco Examiner, 31-August-1948

In August 1948, the Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey Circus. the Greatest Show on Earth, played its San Francisco shows across the line in Daly City, at the enormous Cow Palace, which had opened in 1941. I remember people talking about the animals parading from the Southern Pacific yards up Geneva Avenue to the Cow Palace. My parents took us to see the circus at the Cow Palace several times. 

Warriors -- November 5, 2019

On Friday we went to see the Warriors play at their new home in San Francisco, the Chase Center on Third Street in Mission Bay.  We were standing at a table on the third level when a young lady asked if she could share the table.  Some other people joined her and she asked if I went to a lot of Warriors games.  I said this was my game since the Warriors played at the Cow Palace, about 50 years ago.

The Warriors lost to the San Antonio Spurs, but it was an entertaining game.
