Oh yeah, EVERYONE is wearing a hat!! Mostly Fedoras, check out the Ladies hat at 3:02. Ha Ha.

Its a little slow so if you let it go and go back to it, it is worth it.

My goodness, that was just so cool. I was mesmerized. Authentic life on the street a hundred years ago.

People talk about traffic experiences in third world countries. Kinda looks like that film.

Hey Scotty, Ive watched it several times now, it is mesmerizing!
On the E-mail that it came with it said that it was just days before the big quake and that the film was sent to Chicago for observation, interesting.
I dont think I saw one person NOT wearing a hat!

That is a great video!! San Francisco is one of my favorite cities in the world. I still get a thrill out of walking down Market Street and seeing that good old Ferry Building still standing where it always has been. One of the blessings of the 1989 quake is that it caused the removal of the Embarcadaro Freeway which blocked the view.
