It's just a local thing... can't tell you exactly why, but it's a "no-no" around here! Obviously you can call it whatever you'd like, just know that you'll be immediately pegged as a tourist or newcomer.

Huh? Every San Francisco rapper calls their home "Frisco". Not to mention everybody I know born and raised there. They even have a "Frisco" clothing line. The only people who dont like it seem to be snobbish yuppies that drive BMW's.

Ha, ha!

When I used to bop around San Francisco in my homeless persons disguise, I had a baseball cap that I would wear, on the front of which I lettered "GO AHEAD - CALL IT FRISCO."
