San Francisco, few days before earthquke, 1906

[expect]

that is not of 1906, its of 1905 as someone pointed out.

this is the original place the video was posted

FORA.tv - Rick Prelinger: Lost Landscapes of San Francisco

click on "Chapter 12- A trip down Market Street Redux"

The video was staged, on a ride down Market street. The cameraman paid his friends to zig zag in n out of traffic to give the film "a little more visual interest"

There are many more videos on that link too btw. Enjoy.

Very cool. Thanks for sharing. I love the combination of types of transportation being used from horse drawn carriages and wagons, to street cars, and to bicyles and cars. What a great illustration of the transitions brought about during the industrial revolution.
