Frisco
Golden Gate locale
Frisco is an informal name for San Francisco, though many locals consider it a mark of outsiders and tourists.
The nickname dates to the late 1800s and appears in songs, literature, and casual speech: I'm heading to Frisco for the weekend.
Frisco is also a city in Texas, part of the Dallas–Fort Worth metropolitan area.
