San Framcisco movie- 1905

“

The email that this came with claimed that this is the first known 35mm film and that it was taken four days before the great earthquake. I wasn't able to verify that but it is a fascinating film nevertheless. I keep expecting to see Laural and Hardy go by. GrinCelt

Rodger the Real King of France said...: I've now watched this four times, and each time I'm reminded of something my pappy used to tell me:

"Yes, government can protect you against failure, but at the cost of allowing you to succeed."

I'm not questioning the need for some order in our lives, but these people are enjoying freedom I yearn for. I guess it's inevitable on this plane of existence.; 6/13/10, 9:28 AM

Bob Hawkins said...: That's where the name of the LA Dodgers comes from. Short for "Trolley Dodgers." Fact.

Turing word: "amsch". That's what you yell when a trolley almost gets you.; 6/13/10, 1:43 PM
JMcD said...: So much horse manure was deposited in the streets of San Francisco that roses would spontaneously sprout from the asphalt even for years after the quake.
The problem wasn't completely eliminated till much later with the arrival of the hippies and the gay pride brigades.
Deposits of urine, ejaculate, cooties,vomit,and scumbag flakes, finally killed off the rose sprouts.
No new growth has been seen in more than four decades.; 6/13/10, 4:11 PM
