[edit] American Planning Association (APA) designation
The American Planning Association (APA) announced today [Oct. 2nd, 2007] that the North Beach Neighborhood in San Francisco has been designated as one of 10 Great Neighborhoods for 2007 through APA's Great Places in America program. APA Great Places exemplify exceptional character and highlight the role planners and planning play in creating communities of lasting value.
I've included a snippet, but the article is a good one to think about in terms of a pattern for re-writing this article. This got at least some international press; I got the notice in The Economist's monthly San Francisco briefing (not sure if everyone can access this). MrRedwood 01:36, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Panta Rei
Hey! Nice photo! And it features Panta Rei, one of my favorite North Beach restaurants!
Thanks for adding that to the article!

[edit] Red Light District
I don't know how to put this, but there is no red light district per se in north beach. There are some seedy areas and businesses, but nothing like a legal or tolerated red light district. Someone ought to take that mention out.
- Maybe the area referred to is the one near Broadway and Columbus? There's no prostitution or brothels, but the area is full of strip clubs and adult shops. --Yuje 10:28, August 31, 2005 (UTC)

- Yes, I think that area qualifies.

" . . . reduced to those places that could afford to stay in business."
This means absolutely nothing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.147.115.53 (talk) 18:32, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] storied history?
The history section of this article desperately needs expansion. The quote in the lead section mentions the neighborhood's storied history; but all we have now is the neighborhood's origins when the land was filled and a paragraph about its sex-related nightspots and clubs. --Sfmammamia (talk) 16:21, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
