Fillmore San Francisco was referred to the Harlem of the west

and believe it or not Oakwood/Venice CA used to be referred to as Harlem by the sea or Harlem of the west
I was going to say something similar... Bay Area is the Harlem of the West Coast. Well it used to be

That’s an incorrect statement

I’m naming specific areas that were actually nicknamed Harlem of the west

I’ve never heard the Bay Area as a whole referred to as the Harlem of the west

Oakland is so similar in terms of trend setting and basically being a state instead of a city... Same as Harlem just a different atmosphere, Frisco the same way

The bay area is unique and like no other parts of California, same as Harlem, have their own vibe and flavor

Oakland being a state instead of a city? Trend setting? You can say that about a couple cities

Oakland has had its own rich history and unique identity, I’ve never heard the need for anybody to compare it to Harlem
