joe alota was so charmed by that song, when he became mayor, he had the song adopted as one of the two official anthems for san francisco. tony bennett, you helped us share the magic of san francisco around the world. song reminds how and why we love our great city and calls us home when we travel a bit too far. it also calls when we maybe traveled a bit too long from san francisco. when you come back to san francisco, our hearts are lifted. you have helped us celebrate milestones in our history. you reopened us after earthquakes. you brought us back one of the greatest symbols our city, our cable cars. when ever we celebrate and i got to hear this song more often, because that tells us the giants have won. [applause]. we celebrate you here today for your part of our city's history and now we immortalize you in bronze so you will be here forever welcoming every person to our great city. of course now i get to do something senator and former mayor brown have always done in their life time but now i get to do it to officially declare today august 19, 2016, tony bennett day in san francis
