I happened to flip open an SF Weekly on Saturday to the Night + Day section where the following advice caught my eye and made me chuckle:
Tenderloin alleys are disgusting. It’s kind of their thing. Rule of thumb: If you find yourself in one after midnight, stop whatever it is you think you are doing, go home, and go to bed.
From this inauspicious start the article went on to describe how one particular alley has been transformed by many artists and volunteers into The Tenderloin National Forest. I checked out some more information at The Luggage Store and since it piqued my interest I decided to take a bit of a Tenderloin safari (at high noon, mind you, not 12 midnight). It was a really cool place and a good way to get out with the new camera and take some pictures.
