I want to share a bit about a community here in San Francisco that is important to many including me. On February 5th, the Uptown Tenderloin Historic District was listed in the National Register of Historic Places. This has been a long and hard fought battle by too many residents and community activist to name and because it is such a triumph of the entire Tenderloin community I won’t name names – this is a win for all.

What was once viewed as a lost neighborhood, one to be walked around not through, the Tenderloin as been recognized for one of the many values it offers.
