Trivia
The 1360 Montgomery building, featured in the 1947 film noir Dark Passage and where
Lauren Bacall's character resides, is a typical example of modern architecture.
The local wild parrots (depicted in the 2003 documentary The Wild Parrots of Telegraph
Hill) are Cherry-headed conures, also known as red-masked parakeets, an indigenous
species from Peru. They are also often spotted farther east on Embarcadero Plaza, and
seem to have spawned a colony in the Cupertino area, in the South Bay.

Tenderloin, San Francisco, California
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tenderloin is a neighborhood in San Francisco. It is known for its drug trade,
prostitution, ethnic restaurant and bar scene, and close proximity to the Financial District,
Downtown and Civic Center.
The squalid conditions, homelessness, crime, drug sales, prostitution, liquor stores (over
60), and strip clubs give the area a seedy reputation. Many tourist publications suggest
avoiding the Tenderloin all together and its notoriously exaggerated mythology of danger
keeps many San Franciscans away from the area after dark. However, these conditions
have also served to make rents more affordable in a city known as among the priciest in
the country. Though the area is commonly thought of as being uninhabited by families, it
is one of the few areas of the city affordable to poor and working-class families and has
one of the city's highest concentrations of children.
With some of San Francisco's most prestigious real estate only a few blocks to the north,
and the Financial District's high towers and hotels just to the east (along Geary Street),
the Tenderloin is often striking to tourists as a definitive example of microculture within
the city. As with other lower-income neighborhoods like the Mission and SOMA
districts, many artists and writers make the Tenderloin their home.
While the streets close to Market Street are among San Francisco's most undesirable
neighborhoods, a gradual but distinct rise in income levels occurs as one travels north,
