Fillmore District
The Fillmore District is a historical neighborhood in San Francisco. Definitions vary, but it is generally treated as either a synonym or subneighborhood of the Western Addition and is centered on the strip of Fillmore Street south of Geary Boulevard to about McAllister or Fulton Street. It is situated to the north of the Hayes Valley and Lower Haight and south of the Upper Fillmore.
Why it's on the map
Noted Japanese monk Nyogen Senzaki, who is credited with introducing Zen Buddhism in the United States opened the first zendo in an apartment on Bush Street in the Fillmore.
As part of efforts in the 1990s to revitalize the Fillmore district, the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency created the Historic Fillmore Jazz Preservation District to encourage the development of entertainment and commercial businesses in this historical area.
