A street in the Uptown Tenderloin district.Thor Swift for The New York Times
San Francisco Detours Into Reality Tourism published April 11 in The New York Times describes a new area for San Francisco tourism: the Uptown Tenderloin. Includes walking tours of “the world’s largest collection of historic single-room occupancy hotels.” Just like the tenement museum in New York — except people are living there NOW! Instead of the bus tours like south central Los Angeles mentioned in the previous post, it seems like these tours avoid night time meanderings, when the “drunken people collapsed on streets and others furtively smoking pipes in doorways.”
