Families in Kodachrome, Cable cars, the 1st SF Giants game, and 1940s Hunters Point development I promised earlier in the week take a look! SFMemory.org/Update/2025-05-28 #sfhistory #sfmemory https://sfmemory.org/Update/2025-05-28

Hunters Point 1914
You know I'm obsessed with the development at Hunters Point, so I had to buy this glass copy negative aerial view showing the shipyard and hilltop before any of it. The main development there didn't happen until the 1930s, more one this later. #sfhistory #sfmemory

Pier 45, 1960
Taylor and Embarcadero, Holland America and Matson Terminals, you know it now as the home of Musee Mecanique #sfhistory

Just realized it's "Bike to Wherever Day" today (every day is for me) Hope to see some of you out at the Ferry Building this afternoon. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/bike-to-wherever-day-2025-group-ride-tickets-1329141641429

@knf100 @MBridegam @joelvanderwerf so sorry to miss this something came up last minute. I even have this uh small token for you (ok it’s a normal-sized token)

@werrett I learn so much from you guys

@midendian The property Information map is a good place to check this (put it in your bookmarks) , but without checking, I'd say that yes it is. https://sfplanninggis.org/pim/

Northeast on Market From Church, July 5, 1927
I look at a lot of old pictures as you know, often I will use the landscape, street grade buildings, and other clues to help locate a historical picture. Here's one where it's almost impossible to do any of that. This is Market Street, the buildings on the left are on the site of the Safeway Parking lot. The first hill across Reservoir Street is where the Safeway is. The Second hill will have the US Mint built that within 10 years. (SFMTA Photo Archive - George Fanning) #sfhistory

@knf100 @MBridegam @joelvanderwerf that’s the peak of it. No reason for me to show up at latin American now. Have fun!

@knf100 @MBridegam @joelvanderwerf I have to be home by 10.

@rollovereasy @bffdotfm just came across this shot of George Moscone at the Jimmy Carter rally in 1976

Still walking … Haight and Buchanan 1940 & today #sfhistory #sfmemory #thenandnow

Bike broke yesterday, so I’m out for a walk. Oh no. #SFHistory

@mazz certainly not, i would never do that. Sometimes I correct the exposure or color for slides that have deteriorated, but never would I colorize a black and white image

Union Square, 1948

The Union Square Garage was pretty new, built in 1941, and apparently was packed full in 1948. What I don't understand is why all the cars are the same color. #sfhistory #sfmemory

@bowdidge you have a typo in there i think

@jef yeah , me neither, they were frolicking!

Buffalo Stampede in Golden Gate Park #bikeride

@14mission if it’s still there, it’s moving soon.
