Re: Pacific Plaza & Century, Pacific Plaza is an office dev with a cinema and restaurants none of which would qualify as shopping under the wiki definition. Please quote a source recognizing P.P.'s renown (famous? it doesn't hold a candle to Cow Palace or Serramonte) or figures quantifying Century's "most successful" status.

Does anyone know after whom this city was named? A search for John Daly returns articles on several John Dalys, none of which make any reference to Daly City. Just curious.

Zoe reverted user:64.170.192.126's edit stating that Daly City is "way foggier" than San Francisco. Certainly the contribution was flawed, but may there not be any truth to the content? Any Daly City residents willing to compare their city with SF in terms of fog? There are surely weather stats that can corroborate or disprove this. --Dpr 05:53, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

Yes, indeed! There is a long, definitive explanation of the history of Daly City stating that the city was named after one of its first inhabitants, John Daly: http://www.dalycityhistory.org/overview.htm Oh, and by the way. I am the one who wrote that Daly City is way foggier than San Francisco and here is how I know: I lived on Callan Blvd for 18 years and I've lived in San Francisco now for 4. And I would say that based on my limited evidence, Daly City is truly the fog city (maybe Pacfica).

I made a separate article (stub, for now) for John D. Daly. Seems like a notable historical character himself. Please feel free to help flesh it out. 「ѕʀʟ·✎」 23:35, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

As to fogginess in San Francisco, it depends on where you are. Weather in San Francisco tends to be somewhat variable depending on where you are. I've never seen fog in the Mission. Didn't see much in North Beach either. But the Marina District is a regular member of the fog belt, and the Presidio even more so. I imagine the same may apply to Daly City.--Coro 00:37, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

As a user who resides in Daly City, California, I must say this city is actually infamously afflicted with fog, such that some residents joke that the city is foggy due to too many Asians cooking rice. Calmsavior 03:23, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sister Cities

Sister Cities International [1] does not list any sister cities for Daly City. I made an edit earlier which turned out to be an unconsummated effort by Daly City's Sister City Committee [2] to become a sister city to one in the Philippines. Unless references can substantiate the claims to Albuquerque and Quezon City these entries should be removed. Zedla (talk) 19:52, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
