@BobHorowitz @MuseumJoe I was looking at a list of em just yesterday and seeing which ones I’d been to. Seven out of 10, Ripley included.

@BobHorowitz @midendian Something tells me this has to be somewhere where the temperature doesn't regularly go below the freezing point...

[bobhorowitz@sfba.social]

@leatherstotheeditor
Correct.

We get hail occasionally but, per Google, the last time the temperature in downtown San Francisco officially dropped below 32°F was on December 11, 1932. And the last time measurable snow fell in San Francisco was February 5, 1976, when 1 to 2 inches blanketed the city.

Being on a peninsula, surrounded by water on 3 sides, with cool ocean temps, means we rarely get very hot or very cold.

@BobHorowitz I think that sometimes, under certain weather conditions in the morning, car owners go to their cars, which are parked at the very bottom of the street

[bobhorowitz@sfba.social]

@andre
There is no bottom. Ripley keeps going down

@BobHorowitz Believe it or not, I didn’t know the context — so thank you for introducing me to Robert Ripley and the whole “Believe It or Not!” universe

@andre
You're welcome!
Ripley's is an American cultural institution... a carnival side-show of historical oddities and trivia.
