san francisco cable car, 1905.

We wanted to share some great footage from one of San Francisco’s historic cable cars traveling down Market Street. Keep in mind this is our nation’s only moving national monument. The footage was taken in 1905, right before the great earthquake of 1906.

We were taken back by the sheer amount of jaywalking happening in those days – it seems the city has never really been big on rules.
