The San Francisco Brown Twins
Vivian A. Brown and Marian B. Brown have been San Francisco's unofficial mascots for four decades.
We bumped into them on Powell Street last night. When Heather tried to take a candid, they said, "No, sweetie, let's do this right." and guided us to the hotel steps for a "proper photo."
They moved here in 1970 and have no plans to ever leave. I can relate to that.
