What is SOMA?
Since I’ve had several email messages about this recently, it’s time for the annual reminder, mostly directed toward non-San Franciscans and those who came in via search engines.
SOMA is the official acronym for South Of Market Area, which is my neighborhood in San Francisco. It has nothing to do with any prescription painkiller nor is any reference to Aldous Huxley implied. SOMA is nothing but a mildly annoying real estate term.
This is an amazing neighborhood and Planet SOMA was originally all about South of Market. A large part of the site still is, in one way or another.
Love and hate:
Things I hate today: HTML-formatted email; beets, green peas, and pickles; TCI Cable; sunny days in February…
Things I love today: Nikko’s Diner in Oakland; NewsRadio (still…); the rain’s coming back…
