Afternoon Palate Cleanser: Dinosaur Jr.'s "Over It"
According to this map we saw right near the Ferry Building, it looks like the borders are Taylor, Bush, O'Farrell, and Van Ness, shrinking the Official Tenderloin to a mere twenty-ish square blocks. But wait...isn't Larkin Street now Little Saigon? How'd we miss the official renaming of NoMa? Is it going to have an incestuous relationship with NoPa? Would the kids be heroin-addicted H&M shoppers feasting on rotisserie chicken? The mind reels.

I'm intrigued. It actually makes more sense if you pull the western boundary in to Hyde. Between Hyde and Van Ness is "Polk Gulch", or so I've heard.
Memo to future map makers...when you're about to label the Tenderloin, take a deep breath and think hard.
My mother Norma approves.
That looks like the western edge of what we have always called the Theaterloin.
So is this instead of Tendernob? Or is it what is between Tendernob and Tenderloin.
Polk Gulch gets my vote for choice for anything west of Hyde, and maybe as far north as Sacramento or Clay (and as far south as Eddy? or as soon as Little Saigon wants it).
Anything east of Hyde I just go with Lower Nob Hill (which is tricky because aren't hills supposed to have 4 sides, so why is Lower Nob hill only the southern slope?) or Tendernob.
I do like what "Jas" said calling parts of it Theaterloin.
No Polk Village! No NOMA! What's next? Union Square Heights?
