Published since 2005. San Francisco is a city that belongs to the people of the world. Hence this blog has a global focus. The name "Sam Spade's San Francisco" refers to an exciting era in the City's history, the time of Dashiell Hammett's fictional gumshoe and San Francisco character, Sam Spade. My name is Tom Dunn and I edit the blog. I'm not as exciting as Sam Spade, but I am definitely a San Francisco character.Contact or on Twitter -- Search blog below.

Queen Elizabeth II - England's Oldest, Longest-Reigning Monarch
Last month a story appeared in this blog about the 60th wedding anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II and Phillip Mountbatten, Prince and Duke of Edinburgh. You can read the original story here.
Today Queen Elizabeth II officially became the oldest and the longest living monarch in the history of the British monarchy.
The line of kings and queens of England dates back to the sixth century. In all that time no British King or Queen was older and none sat upon the throne longer.
