Haight @ Fillmore
This is the largest one I’ve seen yet — we LOVE us some Stephen Colbert here in San Francisco!
Spotted this at night with a friend while in Lower Haight, which I offhandedly called “the Haightstro” to indicate the area between Lower Haight and Market — and my friend (who lives in Lower Haight) said, “Ooo, that’s good. But I’ve been calling it ‘the Castraight’”.
The “castraight” is almost as awesome as the area between the Tenderloin and Nob Hill: the Tender Nob.
We clearly need more clever nichnames for our interstitial zones (”NoPa” doesn’t count as it sucks).
Where ya’ll been? Add ‘em to the list (although, Castraight IS my #1 pick, for reasons both obvious and private-jokeish)
What the — The neighborhood you describe is properly known as the Duboce Triangle. Sheesh!
really? it’s duboce triangle? man, i’ve lived on that corner for two years, and i had no idea! shows what i know…
i live 1 block south from this corner and we get the hayes valley neighborhood newsletter. according to IT, that area is part of hayes valley.
go figure.
and a mere 2 blocks away is Mint Hill. so many micro neighborhoods.
