Hey Kay! I live in that area and I've always called it the Lower Haight. But I suppose thechnically it's out of bounds. For crime reporting purposes it's either Alamo Square if you're on the east side of Diviz, or North Panhandle if you're on the west. I think Alamo Flats would be a great name! If I don't call it Lower Haight, I'll call it Middle Haight or "the land between the Haights." But I think Alamo Flats is perfect for the Fell to Fulton area. Whaddya think?

someone please name the stretch of divisadero from fulton to fell. not quite western addition, not quite lower haight, no one likes NOPA, and does not actually border alamo square. i am having an identity crisis.

Um, I live there, and it is DEFINITELY the SUBMISSION.

I may be mistaken but I thought that area was called the "taint."

Who cares? Whatever it's going to be named, no one will know what the hell it means if they see it one a map.

Oh, and couldn't the 2nd St. snippet be best described as the Fountain district? It's at least as big as the 17th St. Upholstery district. Then again, maybe Moscone Heights? West Rincon? North South Park?

"Taco Bell Heights". Why oh why did SFist do away with Top 5 Comments of the Week? Cause that was nuthin but net.

Due to all the fixture boutiques and all, and isn't it below sea level as well?... I'd call it "the Sink."

I've been calling it the buttcrack due to the shape of the freeway and the neighborhood :)

The strip of 2nd street in question is SOQNO-21 (prounounced Sock-No-21) As in, South of Quiznos North of 21st Amendment. ...glad I could help.

I've always thought of the neighborhood as extending from about Harrison out to 280/7th St, and my personal name has been "Potrero Flats" for some time now.

The Triangle bordered by Valencia/Duboce/Market is the "Bermuda Triangle" for obvious reasons. The area by the Slow Club can be called "KQED Slope/Heights/Gulch/Ravine ect..."

"Actually I would love to get a name for the whole Duboce @ Valencia hill area. I've been calling it Taco Bell Heights since I moved there four years ago." Isn't it obvious - its the V-Dub, yo.

"Taco Bell Heights" is sheer genius. I used to live across the street from that fast food hybrid for a couple of years. I stopped going to TB when they asked me if I wanted "the regular."

How about WeLickMoP - short for West of the James Lick Freeway in Mission/Protero.

if you check wikimapia, apparently a cousin of wikipedia, someone has designated the stretch of 17th to the overpass along mission street "sketchy valley" i like that.

Ah dear SFist, you forgot: "Mitrero" came from your clever reader, not ours! Following last week's throwdown with readers who claim that we're operating out of NYC, we decided to set the record straight. Between you, us, and TODO, we'll name this bitch yet!

how about Hipnub short for: Hipsters have Nuthin' Better to do
