by Where Fog is a Personality Trait and Everyone’s Aunt Owns a Karaoke Machine
Daly City: where it’s always either foggy or ‘extra foggy, bring a sweater for your soul.’ The fog in Daly City isn’t weather — it’s cultural ambiance. It’s the only city where karaoke is considered both a pastime and a competitive sport. In Daly City, you’re never more than 20 feet from lumpia or someone’s cousin named ‘JR.’ You haven’t truly lived in Daly City until you’ve sung power ballads in a garage with your auntie and three rotisserie chickens. The official city bird is the Toyota Corolla with custom rims and a rosary on the mirror. Daly City has two seasons: ‘Cold with Fog’ and ‘Still Cold, With More Fog.’ The weather forecast in Daly City is always ‘don’t even ask, just layer.’ Even GPS in Daly City just sighs and says ‘You’re probably near something Filipino.’ In Daly City, directions include landmarks like ‘the second Jollibee, not the first one.’ The unofficial local currency is aluminum trays and Tupperware with no lids. You know you’re in Daly City when the parking lot arguments are more passionate than political debates. The only city where the fog checks ID — and your karaoke credentials. The city motto should be: ‘Daly City — Fog, Food, and Family Parties Until 3 AM.’ Daly City is proof that you can have 400 people living in one neighborhood and still be invited to five different birthday parties in one day.
