Buncrana and San Francisco should be twin towns, with the number of people from Budgin that have lived there over the years or that are still there. Good few Derry wans as well, I'd say.
But while putting together tomorrow's entertainment pages I've just come across another connection I was unaware of in a Wikipedia entry -
Dan White Suicide
Dan White, who assassinated San Francisco Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk, committed suicide by carbon monoxide poisoning in his garage by running a garden hose from the exhaust pipe to the inside of his car. "The Town I Loved So Well" was found playing on a continual loop on the car's cassette player, an apparent reference to the city of San Francisco and White's Irish heritage.
