The Tenderloin is seedy, but not all that dangerous. The famous Glide Memorial Methodist Church is in the Tenderloin and serves meals every day to all the down-and-out people who live there.That is something that strikes me odd. Two men dressed up like British earls living in a part of town which was (is?) - as I understood from reading here - quite dangerous. One of these men was very old and on his own for most of every day in a seedy hotel. Makes me wonder if he ever was victim of a robbery or something like that? There must have been a lot of not so nice people around, who were in need of money. And GB looked like a wealthy man.
