Show Notes (partial): In San Francisco, the area South of Market Street is called SoMa. The part of town North of the Panhandle is known as NoPa.

An area of downtown Oakland is being branded as KoNo, short for Koreatown Northgate. But no one actually calls it that, or at least, not yet. READ MORE --> http://99percentinvisible.org/ep...
