The San Franciscans: Vivian and Marian Brown
When Vivian A. and Marian B. Brown arrived in San Francisco from Los Angeles on New Years Eve in 1969 they experienced paradise found. They've been making new friends from around town and around the world ever since. Many years ago the sisters joined a group of young friends for cheeseburgers at a Zim's restaurant which was then at Sutter and Powell Streets. The identical duo chewed the fat and warned the young ones not to take any apartment that didn't include utilities. Sage advice. Mister SF was among the newbies in attendance and has been seeing double ever since. 

Here we are at the Top of the Mark in 1999. Marian's coat is open. Can you find another difference between the sisters in this photo?
