	The Story of Dogpatch
		Dogpatch is a slice of San Francisco with a distinctive and colorful history, a history tied closely to the once-booming industrial economy centered in the city's Central Waterfront.
		Located on the flats east of Potrero Hill, Dogpatch is an approximately nine square block area, generally bounded by Mariposa Street to the North, Tubbs Street (23rd) to the South, Highway 280 to the West, and Illinois Street to the East.
		The Dogpatch neighborhood began to experience an urban renaissance of sorts in the late 1970s, at a time when arson, decay and demolitions were reaching epidemic proportions.

		Dogpatch is also significant as a surviving remnant of the once-mighty South of Market mixed-use industrial/residential district that was destroyed in the 1906 earthquake and fire.

	The Road to Hokum: Dogpatch, USA
		Dogpatch USA, the first theme park based on his wildly successful comic strip "Li'l Abner," was finally open for the tourist trade.
		The Arkansas syndicate that built Dogpatch USA was peddling colonial stereotypes as family entertainment, and at the core of the park's attraction was a complex melody conjured by the dueling banjos of simulation and authenticity.
		Dogpatch USA is the site of museum-quality cultural politics drawn so boldly and audaciously that it is almost a pity to see the park now, 25 years later, humbled, nearly forgotten, skating the edge near bankruptcy, shadowed by an idling bulldozer.

		The reason that we at Dogpatch have found this to be true is that there is no way to keep our pets from being exposed to the darned little pests.
