How has it survived? Randy Shaw searches for answers in this powerful account of the Tenderloin from its post-quake rebuilding in 1907 through today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Tenderloin fought back against the establishment time and time again. And often won. Shaw shows how those outside the mainstream-independent working women, gay men, \"screaming queens,\" activist SRO hotel tenants and many others-led these struggles. Once known for \"girls, gambling and graft,\" the Tenderloin was also fertile ground for the Grateful Dead, Miles Davis, Dashiell Hammett and other cultural icons. \u003cem\u003eThe Tenderloin\u003c\/em\u003e is the untold story of a neighborhood that persisted against all odds. It is a must read for everyone -concerned about the future of urban neighborhoods.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Randy Shaw\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798218596897\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Urban Reality Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/22\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.82d","brand":"Randy Shaw","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46640963191039,"sku":"9798218596897","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2bd0e8a7-07df-4e8f-9fb8-5eec58246037.jpg?v=1740670961","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-tenderloin-randy-shaw-9798218596897","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
