One for the history books . . .

Consider this a side note if you will, but I can’t help bragging a little. The Tenderloin (now officially the Uptown Tenderloin Historic District) has been listed in the National Register of Historic Places! Bounce over to the latest post on my other blog to learn more.

Mark, Speaking for Heritage, we are delighted with this anticipated news.

We very much look forward to working with stakeholders in the Tenderloin to advocate and educate on preservation of our city’s great architectural and cultural identity, and how, with good planning and neighborhood participation, we can improve the quality of life in this great neighborhood.

Congrats to you for your keen eye and careful documentation, Randy Shaw for his vision and leadership, to the superb architectural historian and author, Michael Corbett, who continues to document and write on places important to all San Franciscans, and to the many other important people who made this happen.
