Catch a Streetcar - San Francisco in 1905 . . .

Recommended Posts

No road lanes, no traffic lights, just horses, early automobiles, and pedestrians in a really cool free for all.

Note: Some comments say fake, but don't they always? I do think it was staged, but that doesn't mean it's fake.

And I know it's real because at 5:05 you'll see a very young Airtwardo plying his first trade as a Newsie while playing chicken with the street car!

And just think. Only months later the great earthquake and fires of 1906 wiped most of this away . . .
