Reference - Amazon.com. "Pacifica has the nickname Scenic Pacifica because of its beautiful ocean
vistas and lovely hillside views. Twelve miles south of San Francisco,
the city of Pacifica grew rapidly, although not to the size that some
had predicted. A haven for young families, Pacifica fostered strong
leaders among housewives, environmental activists, and businesspeople.
The strength of Pacifica, other than its natural beauty, has always been
its people. The schools, service clubs, and athletic fields produced
local celebrities, but the proximity to San Francisco helped forge more
widely known legends. This combination of personalities helped make it
possible to identify a broad spectrum of legendary locals, from a woman
who was the first mayor of Pacifica to a successful comedian who earned
national attention on Saturday Night Live..." Note: Book cover from the Amazon ad/Arcadia publishing.
