The Deco Ghetto

If you know San Francisco, you know that it's all about the neighborhoods.  Until recently, the street that I live on and the surrounding few blocks didn't really have a name.  We are bordered by some very famous districts, The Castro, The Mission and Hayes Valley, but we weren't considered as really being part of any of them.  Well, I just found out last night that our little triangle has finally been christened....we are The Deco Ghetto! big_smile  Could it get much better than that!?  Here is an article about how we became The Deco Ghetto.

It couldn't be more perfect, and retrokitten, you live right in the middle of it!  It's almost like they named it just for you smile

I like it! I'll have to take my friends through there the next time I'm in the city just to show 'em, hehe.

Nope. Half the time on the East Coast, half the time on the West Coast. I'll be East for the Expo, but my betrothed will be there. Do me a favor: If you see her wielding a blank check with my signature on it, hint broadly that I have a few plants keeping an eye on things. BTW: Are you going to be athe Quake party or The Preservation Ball??

hehee...Like I would interfere with a woman's natural born right to shop! big_smile

I don't know yet about The Preservation Ball, and what is the Quake Party?  Somehow I can't picture the two of you playing the computer game....

Re: The Deco Ghetto

I was wondering the same thing - what is the quake party?  Some sort of 1906 memorial?  Hope to see you both out soon!  I'll be at the Vintage Expo sharing a booth and helping out with Anna Newman Vintage, and displaying lots of The Diva Pinup hair flowers, natch.  I'm sorry I'll miss you this time, ZSC, but hope to see you soon.... maybe I can put my name on your dance card for a dance at Gatsby before they all fill up!
