		Though the Fillmore, as it has always been known, was dominated to a large degree by the Jewish merchants and stores on Mc Allister Street and up Fillmore to Sutter, the district had a varied ethnic and cultural mix.

		Today’s Fillmore District, while one of San Francisco’s most diverse neighborhoods, bears little resemblance to the cosmopolitan place it once was.
		This district, which has arguably changed more than any other in the city, once held a large Jewish settlement, replete with synagogues, bakeries, and kosher markets.
		And in one of the most controversial displays of civic power, this densely populated area fell to the forces of redevelopment, bisected by the ambitious plan to widen Geary Boulevard, creating a freeway-like road through the district and forcing out thousands of dwellers whose homes were either moved or demolished.
