How My Grandfather Got Around San Francisco



Amazing footage of street traffic on San Francisco's Market Street in 1905. The street heads east toward the Ferry Building, which was left in tact after the '06 quake and fire.

I arrived in San Francisco in the 70s, and often traveled down Market Street in a street car wondering what it may have looked like in my grandfather's day.

Sound track is La Femme D'Argent from Air's Moon Safari album. Special thanks to Pam Shandrick for passing this along.
