apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Can we not use the term "Tendernob" please? We find it to be totally ridiculous.

i don't usually like ornate, but this is so beautiful

...where did that term "Tendernob" come from? sorry i've never been to SF yet but one of these days.. :-)

"Tendernob" is the slang for the area between Nob Hill and the Tenderloin neighborhoods.

Nob Hill people tend to be annoyed by the name and Tenderloin residents find it hilarious. It's generally not considered a real neighborhood in its own right, but just the outer edge of Nob Hill.

Also, when I was out there we called the yuppie punks in that area TenderSnobs.

All in all, it's a pretty area and still hasn't become as insanely pricey as Nob Hill proper.

on the other hand, *we* find the term "Tendernob" to be totally hilarious. particularly bcs it so irks nob hill denizens.
