Regarding this topic, I think designating the TL as a historic district is a wonderful idea, there's such terrific history and gorgeous architecture here. But, I am not sure about the term "uptown". I thought we were actually downtown; I was always told that the TL is the true downtown of San Francisco (The area over near Montgomery and all of that is really the financial district, not downtown.) When you do mapquest, if you just put in a city without an exact address, it will direct you downtown. When you just put in San Francisco, CA, it will take you near the TL, not the embarcadero or the financial district. So, I feel like by calling us uptown, it's really giving up the official downtown status we already have, the center of the city, near all of the shopping and the other excitement downtown has to offer. When I tell people where I live, some say "Oh, you live in the TL", but about 40% say "Oh, you live downtown". I would think we'd want to capitalize on that and not try to switch it to something new. I think that the new "uptown" term should be put up for a vote before it is adopted. Hey, love your site!
