Born and raised in a light and breezy beach town equidistant from Los Angeles and San Diego, Brock Keeling has been living in San Francisco for over a decade, during which he's lived in eight different neighborhoods.

Keeling was named the site's editor-in-chief in July 2007.

The Tenderloin Geographic Society is the nom de guerre of Nicole Harvey, amateur urban studies historian, occasional mapmaker, compulsive photographer, and California native. Marginalized histories, ephemera, and apocrypha are all subject to the purview of the Tenderloin Geographical Society, and citizenship services are offered for those who grew up on the wrong side of the tracks (seemingly anywhere not San Francisco). She lives in the Western Addition, thereby confusing the literalists
