    "It’s close to Lafayette Park, which is a plus. But I’m not sure there are other dog runs in close proximity (which could be a minus)."

    "This is a generally overpriced neighborhood, it is good for walking or using mass transit to services. Frankly, the neighborhood is in decline. "

    "Polk Street Blues Festival. There are not that many events specific to Polk Gulch but it is very easy to walk or ride Muni to many areas close by such as North Beach, Fillmore Street, the Embarcadero and Civic Center."
