Those are neat pictures of San Fran. I love the old pictures of the city.

[Allan]

Yeah, I only saved every single one of these on to my computer. Of course I have a bad habit of saving too many pics...I have 24,000 city photos, plus the 3000 that I've taken on my own!

[Delta]

Really classy selection of vintage pics Allan. I know it takes a long time to pick choice pics to post (or at least a good representation), so thanks.

LOL @ Lurline

Great pics! Thanks for posting. I was just in SF this past weekend..wow what a city.

You're lucky. I've only been there one time, but it is an awesome city, and definately is one of my all time favorites.

What a lovely piece of memorabilia. The architecture on most of those structures was mouthwatering.

Incredible! Those pics look to be digitalized since they are so clear. Tell me it is not so!!

Breathtaking, a lost Paradise. If the rest of bumpkin America had known how beautiful California was, they'd have all moved there.
