San Francisco Neighborhood Poster by Ork Posters

12-12-ork.jpg

We're so glad that Ork Posters recently released their San Francisco neighborhood typographical map poster -- which joins their Chicago, Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Boston ones...

 
 

But we're sad that they're already sold out.

More here, after the holidays, for $22.

(AT:Chicago blogged the Chicago poster here.)

The SF one was on my christmas list, and they had stock a couple days ago, but a couple blogs mentioned it and now it's gone before my "source" (aka girlfriend) could buy it online :(.

I live in Brooklyn, but I have the Chicago one (spent 5 great years there), it's a good looking poster, but the diy nerd in me really wishes that it were screenprinted.

Why did they rename the "Tenderloin" as "Downtown"?

If it doesn't say "Tenderloin," it's not art.

Thanks for posting this! I'm a California girl and my fiancee is a Boston boy. I've just ordered the Boston one for him and it will go perfectly in our bedroom. He'll love it! Maybe we'll get the SF one when it's available so we can have a matching set.

Since when did Clinton and Hells Kitchen become separate neighborhoods? I know that real-tards have been trying to bring the Chelsea brand further and further uptown- way up into the 30's. "Chelsea Heights," anyone? And I know that they have been trying to re-name HK as "Clinton." But I didn't think HK became some kind of DMZ between Chelsea and Clinton. And if they are going to cleave Alphabet City away from the East Village, then they have to cleave NoLIta away from Chinatown and SoHo. And they are being way too generous with Little Italy. Today it's nothing more than two blocks of Mulberry St...

I'm with wende.
I was going to buy this, but then I noticed there was no Tenderloin. No TL, no deal.

at first I loved this idea, as a native SFer recently transplanted to LA...but upon further inspection:
no japantown?
no panhandle?
no embarcadero?
and, agreed, no tenderloin?

no thanks, I'll make my own.

I'm glad I read all the posting!

No TL, no Jtown, no panhandle, no embarcadero...
no thank you.

Was this SF map made by a local? I think not. Many neighborhoods just vaporized and don't appear.

No Tenderloin is a major screw up.
But as mentioned, many others missing too.

Where is Mt. Davidson/Miraloma Park? Cole Valley? Japantown?

Good idea. Sh*tty execution.
