Cracking the Code: Not All 941s Are Created Equal
San Francisco, like a good sourdough starter, is bursting with variety. And that goes for its zip codes too! There's a dizzying 66 of them to be exact, each catering to a different neighborhood with its own unique charm (and, let's be honest, sometimes, quirks).
QuickTip: Pause after each section to reflect.
Don't worry, you won't need a decoder ring (although a good sourdough starter wouldn't hurt) to navigate this. Most areas have a single zip code, but some, like the ever-so-trendy Mission District, share one big zip code umbrella.
QuickTip: Don’t just consume — reflect.
