More Vintage San Francisco on YouTube ~ Tuesday, December 25, 2007

Here's Market Street in 1941:

There are four tracks on Market Street, for the private Market Street Railway (white front cars) and the Municipal Railway (some cars gray, some blue and yellow). It would be another three years before the former would be acquired by the latter.

Downtown was a lot more human-scaled back then.

I'm kind of sorry to have missed the era of ubiquitous hats!

Merry Christmas, everybody!
