WTF??!!?!! People get stabbed with AIDS infected needles practically EVERYDAY in the Tenderloin!!!! This totally happened to someone my coworker used to know and they're DEAD now. The people in the Tenderloin have NO RIGHT to have pride in their community. As a middle class American with no imagination, I DEMAND that places I've never been remain locked into whatever stereotypical cliche I maintain for them!!!! Plus, WHO CARES about other people with less money than I have? Thank god I live in North Beach where I don't have to deal with obnoxious drunken assholes and vomit on the sidewalk all the time. Maybe I'll move to the Mission where there are NO prostitutes or gangs and no one ever gets mugged! Anyway, I'm on my way to the Marina to high five my frat buddies! Check ya later, bitches!!! WOOOOOOO!!!!!!

I almost choked when I read about the "walking tour." The Beyond Chron writers must spend all day in a drug addled haze. Tourist love to have semen and MRSA infected blood thrown on them while dodging stinking mounds of human excrement and vomit. On the plus side, it could be good business for the crack addled, 2 dollar hookers that perform various sex acts behind the library.

I became a historic district on my last birthday.

Does this mean you need to get a variance from the Historical Preservation Society before removing piles of historical shit from your historical doorway?

"a historic" is perfectly cromulent. http://www.betterwritingskills.com/tip-w005.html

History is the only laboratory we have in which to test the consequences of thought, and meth use.

I'm not normally this guy... but it should read "an historic" rather than "a historic" sorry, sorry

When I moved here, I read as much literature about the town as I could to decide where to settle down. I will never forget reading a toursit rag that described the Tenderloin as the city's famous "heads-up neighborhood."
