i have mapped out my neighborhood and found many interesting things ... i have many, and mixed, emotions as i walk this area, about 6 by 5 blocks ... i will be venturing out with camera to document the life now and the history, so stay tuned ***

The Tenderloin is one of those places that make San Francisco work. It may not be the engine of the city, but it certainly produces the coal that makes the ovens burn hotter. No other place in the city combines as many languages, races, income levels or outlooks on life. Drinking sorrows away in a penthouse apartment or living through them on the street, few in this neighborhood can avoid seeing how the other half, third or quarter lives. Few can avoid chance meetings on the street or the need to communicate on some level, no matter how small or brief, with someone very different from themselves who yet has so much in common.
