Please correct me if I'm wrong, but quarter is a part of the city, I
found one definition:
Quarter: A specific district or section, as of a city: the French Quarter.

Definition of suburb:
1.  A usually residential area or community outlying a city.
2. suburbs The usually residential region around a major city; the environs.

So there is more than clear difference.

Any ideas why we don't have "quarter" tag?
