== Region ==
40 Ringold St is located in outer [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_of_Market%2C_San_Francisco%2C_California SoMa] (South of Market Street) - the area is known for "dot com" (technology) companies, light industrial businesses, shopping and residential dwellings (typically lofts or apartments).  In general this part of town is considered "relatively safe" - that is, the typical metro large city common sense rules apply.

== Public Transit ==
[http://www.bart.gov/ BART]]'s Civic Center station is roughly 3 blocks away, [http://www.sfmuni.com/ Muni] has a number of close-by bus lines: 14, 12, etc

== Food ==
Within a few blocks a number of eatery options exist:

* Harvest Urban Market - a local version of Whole Foods meets Berkeley Bowl, with a sprinkle of Rainbow Coop.  The produce area and pre-made goods are no where as extensive as Berkeley Bowl, but certainly a notch up from Safeway.  They're believed to be open till 10ish and sell alcohol; vegetarians are recommenced here.

* [http://www.costco.com/Warehouse/LocationTemplate.aspx?Warehouse=144&lang=en-US CostCo] - a proud example of American capitalism and "bigger is better". This membership warehouse has pizza, chicken caesar salads, hot dogs, roasted chickens, and "chicken bakes" (a mash-up of pizza crush meets left-overs of chicken salad) available for sale.  Rotating specials in the rear of the store include oven-bakable pizza, sushi, pasta and other food items that are generally microwave'able.  Costco requires a $50/year membership fee, closes @ 20:30 on weekends and 

* Thai place 

* Trader Joes

== Other ==
[http://www.mr-s-leather.com/ Mr. S Leathers & Co] - Largely considered the "Nordstorm" of BDSM & fetish gear; clearly not your typical seedy back-alley sex toy store.  Infact, Mr. S sells a number of imported high quality toys and supplies along with extensive designs produced within their own walls; well worth dragging out-of-towners too.
