I love Swensens in Thailand. I always love seeing “from San Francisco” on their signage. They have a lot of traditional Thai flavours like: coconut milk, black sesame & almond, lot Chong (green gummy worms), and mango.

Hey Joey! I lived on Hyde and Vallejo and it was truly a magical place to be. My best memories were grabbing a bite from Za Pizza and finishing up with a waffle cone at Swensons. Shopping at Cala Foods, dumplings at U-Lee and coffee at The Nook Cafe... I didn't appreciate it back then but I look back on those times now with massive nostalgia! Thanks for the vid.

A good friend sent me the link to this video, and I’m so glad he did. Back in 1976, I worked for the Vice President of Swensen’s Ice Cream, and Earl Swensen himself always threw a Christmas party for the staff. Also, the now-defunct Northpoint store would deliver the tubs of ice cream to the office. My favorite flavor is Swiss Orange Chip! Yum yum yummy yum yum!!!

Welcome back dude!! From San Francisco to its sister city, Bangalore, I still remember Swensen's opening here in late 2009 or 10, probably the best ice cream I'd had in my childhood. No pretty corner here though, the shop here was in a mall yet whipped out some killer scoops. Too sad that they had to close down here a few years back. Feels nice to share the same nostalgia in a different setting :)

This little bit of nostalgia is exactly what I needed on a Monday afternoon. My parents had a French restaurant near the corner of Polk & Green for 35 years (2 blocks away from Swensen's). I miss the neighborhood and now that the restaurant is closed I don't make it out there enough. Thanks for jogging some great memories. I always enjoy your storytelling and craft.

That's a really interesting hypothesis that the ice cream parlor is a catalyst for young people desiring freedom. As a native of the Bay Area who has lived in Thailand for more than 17 years, I'm always tickled by the prevelance of Swensen's here and at the way they incorporate SF into their local branding.

Not trying to cause any drama but I feel the "I’m native, I should be able to stay here” attitude is quite hypocritical. Why we drew the line at least 100, 50, or 20 years ago, when the land was stolen from Native Americans anyway. Survival of the fittest is just a part of the natural order of the world.

You would totally rake in views with an account themed for travel itineraries using much of what you already have. I always thougjt you’d be good at video production. Why? Because back then as kids you were already telling me about mixing a sound byte from a Queens of the Stone Age song for use in a short film. We should catch up. Are you still with Chie?
