A Week in the Bay Area

Debarking, how do I know this airport is SFO, not JFK?

1. The floor-as-furniture option is completely acceptable in Northern California: many terminal idlers sit on the carpet, indian style, like they're at a yoga class.  You don't really see that in New York. 
2. On caps and shirts, logos of Billabong and REI replace NY Yankees and North Face.
3. The white people look different here, their complexion is less Mediterrenean, more Prairie Home Companion, their hair color more natural-appearing, blondes are a sandyhue, not metallic.
4. Environmentalism is up a notch: the sticker on an airport paper towel dispenser admonishes "Please take only what you need."

Even with franchises taking over the food service, isn't it interesting what a local airport may give away about the mindset of the area it serves?
