Remarkable footage
This film from 1906 in downtown San Francisco was made 4 days before the great earthquake destroyed the city at 5:12 AM on April 18th, 1906. It is filmed from the front of a cable car, heading east toward the ferry terminal building, which is the tower in the background (which survived the quake and still stands today). Filmed by the Miles Brothers, 14 April, 1906

Here's a film apparently of San Francisco AFTER the earthquake which I discovered completely by accident when trying to get a quick listen of Scott Walker's "Montague Terrace In Blue" . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLOTAJQF0Fo |

Had to kill the aggravating "music" but how incredible to see this.
How busy it was, and with all them pesky, new fangled, "horseless carriages", and the old buildings that looked old even back then! |

How much time did you save by typing this? A hell of a lot less than people wasted trying to read it, I would say! |

That Scott Mckenzie song reminds me so much of what it was like socially in the 60s.
