neighborhoods such as Japantown, The Fillmore, Hayes Valley, Lower Pacific Heights, North Panhandle, Cathedral Hill, Alamo Square, and Anza Vista. After the Second World War, the Western Addition---particularly the Fillmore District--- became a population base and a cultural center for San Francisco's African American community. Since then, urban renewal schemes and San Francisco's changing demographics have led to major changes in the economic and ethnic makeup of the neighborhood, as the Fillmore District suffered from crime and poverty while many other districts underwent significant gentrification. Today, many areas of the neighborhood are again solidly middle-class. The Central Freeway used to run through the neighborhood to Turk Street, but that section of the freeway was closed immediately after the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake and later demolished.

West Portal, San Francisco, California From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia West Portal is a principal shopping street for much of southwestern San Francisco, California, and is also considered a neighborhood itself. Named for the western terminus of the Muni tunnel beneath Twin Peaks that opened in 1918, the street (West Portal Avenue) and adjacent district is still dominated by the frequent trundlings of the three Muni Metro lines (K, L and M) that emerge from the subway to run in the street median. The ride in the subway from West Portal to downtown/Union Square is about fifteen minutes. West Portal lies directly adjacent to several larger San Francisco neighborhoods: the affluent and lushly verdant Forest Hill and St. Francis Wood neighborhoods on the east and south, Parkside (a southern sub-district of the Sunset District) on the north, and at the western end of the Avenue, Lakeshore Village and Merced Manor. The residential areas of the West Portal neighborhood, like several of the adjacent districts, are unusual for San Francisco in that the homes are often detached, albeit with small yards. The frequent fog helps keep the area green in the usually rainless summer months, and on a clear day, a view from the park above the tunnel can be had of the Marin Headlands and the Farallon Islands in the Pacific.
In addition to the streetcar tunnel, West Portal's landmarks include a large movie theater, a library, a school, churches (including the prominent West Portal Lutheran Church and School), restaurants, bars (Portal's Tavern[1]), bookstores (Waldenbooks and West Portal Books [2]), drugstores (Walgreens and Rite Aid), markets, and coffeeshops. These along with many other unique neighborhood shops give the area a distinctly smaller-city, "retro" charm. The West Portal Muni Metro Station is located at the entrance to the Muni tunnel at the northern end of West Portal Avenue. Westwood Park, San Francisco, California From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Westwood Park is an affluent residential neighborhood located in southwestern San Francisco, California, near St. Francis Wood and City College of San Francisco. Westwood Park was built as an upperclass neighborhood for downtown merchants. Most streets in this neighborhood have a suffix of "wood," such as Eastwood, Northwood, Rollingwood, and so forth.
