http://hood.theory.org/ has a neat program that culls craigslist programs for areas that claim to be part of one neighborhood or another. The result shows interesting places where gentrification and cultures mash together, where names and neighborhood identities are in flux, right there in a wash of Seurat pointilism

And the Sunset will always remain the Sunset!

[scanner_darkly]

Yes, but what constitutes as inner or outer sunset seems to be a bit up for grabs...

[scanner_darkly]

Yeah, when I said "up for grabs" I was talking about the map, and the changing ideas, etc.

There are whole "neighborhoods" that were invented during the 90s to attract the tech crowd.

You realize that Ross Cohen is our friend Ross, right? And Matt Chisolm is a good friend of mine too. You've probably met him a few times at least. :) He sometimes hosts Dr. Who nights.

[scanner_darkly]

Which Ross again?

[aerinys]

Ross, who is Bram's brother. He hangs out with the /dev/gaf crowd. I'm not sure how well you know him, but I do know you know him. He's been at like mike & maggie and that crowd parties. :)
