The Tenderloin District Of San Francisco Through Time Is A Brief History Of A Neighborhood Known To Early San Franciscans As St. Ann's Valley. The Story Of This Once-placed Piece Of Real Estate Provides Us With A Fascinating Microcosm Of Urban History As We Follow Its Turbulent Passage From An Outlying Village Of Gold Rush Pioneers To Prosperous But Quiet Residential Respectability; Its Development Into A Hotel, Entertainment, And Vice District; Its Gradual Decay Into Decades Of Mean And Homeless Streets; And Its Ongoing Efforts Towards Economic Rehabilitation.
