Generally, people are split on the “stopping point” of the fan. For me, it’s the quadrant from Boulevard to Harrison. Then I consider Harrison to Belvidere “VCU territory.”

To me the Fan includes VCU: Broad, Belvidere, Boulevard, and the downtown expressway are the borders.

I need a map of what is what because I still have a hard time figuring it all out.

I had to make a map for a roommate once so she knew which streets were parallel aka alternative options for her work commute.

This pic might help! (Although I would encompass Cary St. east of boulevard as part of the Fan as well. To the west of boulevard, Cary St. is Carytown.) I think Stitchmond’s ruling of using the expressway as a southern cutoff point is very valid. I only use VCU as an eastern cutoff as the parking regulations change drastically in that area and you can get a feel for when you’re technically “on campus.”
