Title: The Lounge (and a Texan) invades San Francisco...
Post by: Eric Ellis (57HotrodVW) on April 24, 2010, 19:22:33 pm
While on a recent business trip to San Francisco, I had some free time to do some exploring around the bay area, and thought you all might like to see some related pics (more at this link (http://s50.photobucket.com/albums/f346/57hotrodvw/SanFran2010/?albumview=slideshow)).

These street cars are from cities all over the US. Many of them were built 50-60 years ago.

Thanks, guys.

I'm in New York this week -- downtown Manhattan, surrounded by a lot of people, taxis, and really tall buildings... ;D

I've taken plenty of pics which I'll be glad to post if you guys are interested.

Nice pics, Eric

Reminds me of the time my dad was over there, working for 3 years. Beatiful wiew of the Golden Gate bridge.
Took a nice trip with the family over there from Sweden in 2001, and they still remember it like yesterday.
