Title: Video of San Francisco, days before the Great Quake of 1906 Post by: Fiatdude on December 12, 2010, 22:57:07 pm This is interesting as it portrays life in San Fran going down Market Street in 1906 -- can't believe all the RHD cars on the road -- and the driving LOL -- about 50/50 between autos and horse drawn vehicles -- most the large/heavy vehicles still being pulled by Horses -- Please enjoy
