San Mateo's best locale......I went to school in S.F. and would usually wind up there.

If I had gone there to see this ridiculous crap, I may not have come back.
TV - you are very wise, Bay Meadows was a magical place. I took Caltrain from San Carlos regularly. I too used to sit in a clubhouse box and knew that it was a special time... Was Jeanette the box usher when you were attending races? That woman could scare off drunk fans like nobodies business ;-)
