There's a rather large section of Fremont that I think qualifies as the Bollywood of the Bay Area as they have an all-Indian movieplex. This is apropos of the Niles section of Fremont being the center of the movie making industry in California before it moved to Hollywood. Mac & Mutley did a thing on it a while ago. Of course, none of these are in San Francisco, so they don't really count.

Is there a little Bollywood that we need to scour our maps for?

Anyone who takes Caltrain sort of sees this area if you look outside...funny how so many people in SF are "surprised" to hear about this neighborhood....there's plenty of interesting places that aren't in The Mission or the Marina in town...

So Little Hollywood is near a dump where as Hollywood is a dump. Fascinating. I also would like Blocker to do a piece on this neighborhood.

should have that SFist fellow do a "Blocker" segment so i can get my historical learn on, yo. this type of information could come in handy, me thinks.

I believe it was named such b/c there were quite a few movie houses on that strip in the 40s/50s, right? Psychogasm, care to give us some history on the neighborhood?

No love for Little Hollywood, my home for the last 34 years. It's in SF proper, not South San Francisco, and if you want to mark it, it's just a hop, skip, and a jump from Sunset Scavenger where all of SF's trash goes. Nice, huh? http://tinyurl.com/5fqqcs Link goes to Blanken and Tunnel where the fire was.
