I realize the makers of the game wanted to be true to the city of Baldur's Gate, but I draw the line at mass inconveniences. They could have just as easily made that area two separate ones. I think they got the hang of it when they went to BG2... The districts are all labeled, there are mapnotes, and the journal says exactly where to find taskgivers. Match that with "Such-and-such in Baldur's Gate wants me to blah blah blah." Why, even if they say "At the Such-And-Such Inn", you need to write things down to keep track of it all. Here's what my notes looked like:
"In the upper-left next to the pointy tower, just next to that. In the house at (coordinates), which is in the middleish next to the beggar"
Ugh.
