Metroji clue #60

San Francisco in five emoji

United States

Seven miles square, forty-odd hills, and the fog off the cold Pacific. Small for a city with this much influence.

What each emoji refers to

The Golden Gate is painted International Orange, chosen for visibility in fog.
The cable cars are the last manually operated system of their kind in the world.
The summer fog is a local character with a name, Karl.
Silicon Valley is forty miles south, but the offices and the money moved north.
The Pacific here is cold enough that swimmers wear wetsuits in August.
