Not surprising at all.

“Everyone living in Oakland knows the condition of our roads has been poor. Many of us have a mental list of streets we simply avoid, or memories of streets we’ve turned onto only to wonder if we were going to leave a muffler or catalytic converter behind.

The Oaklandside has dug into the city’s most recent pavement survey, and we can now officially say which streets are the worst in Oakland.

It’s a tie for first: Tyrell Street between Courtland and 47th avenues and Woodcliff Court from Malcolm Avenue to the street’s north end.

But the competition was stiff. Hundreds of stretches of road — 871 to be precise — are so bad that assessors said they had 0 years of life left.”

The image depicts a bustling street market scene, likely from the late 19th to early 20th century. It is populated with numerous individuals engaging in various activities such as selling goods and navigating through the marketplace. The setting appears to be urban, possibly within Chinatown given its cultural context provided by the source information. Market stalls are laden with a variety of items including fruits or vegetables stored in large baskets on wheels. Several wooden crates add color contrast against the backdrop dominated by earthy tones.
The market is outdoors and laid out over what seems like cobblestone streets, enhancing the historical atmosphere of the scene. The people captured display diverse attire indicative of that era, with wide-brimmed hats and traditional garments suggesting a time period when such clothing was prevalent among many working-class individuals in urban environments.
A notable aspect is the presence of various market goods on display or being transported through baskets or crates. This diversity suggests an active trade environment where vendors are keen to attract customers by showcasing their wares openly, inviting direct engagement from passersby and potential buyers alike. The black-and-white nature of the photograph reinforces its vintage feel.
The image carries a historical resonance that transports viewers back in time to obs [...]

The image is a black and white historical photograph depicting an urban street scene from the early 20th century. The perspective shows a wide road leading towards several buildings, including industrial structures with tall chimneys releasing smoke into the air.

On either side of the road are older-style automobiles parked on both sides, indicative of their time period usage for personal and possibly commercial transport. Pedestrians can be seen walking along sidewalks or crossing streets in small groups. The street is lined with utility poles and wooden telephone lines overhead, which were common infrastructure elements during that era.

In terms of urban development, the area appears to have a mix of residential housing alongside industrial facilities such as what seems like the Lone Star Cement Co., suggesting an emerging working-class neighborhood or part of town undergoing growth. The presence of vintage vehicles indicates this photo could be from around 1920-1950.

The photograph provides insight into urban life and infrastructure during that historical period, showcasing a blend of residential housing with industrial activities within the same vicinity.

The black and white photograph captures a bustling scene on an unpaved street, which appears to be under construction or in the midst of repair work. A group of individuals is dispersed across the road; some are standing while others appear engaged in manual labor. The people's attire suggests early 20th-century fashion with hats, long-sleeved shirts, and trousers being predominant.

In the background stands a tall industrial smokestack indicative of an active factory or cement plant, consistent with Lone Star Cement Co.'s operations mentioned in additional context. Surrounding buildings seem utilitarian, suggesting this location is within an industrial area rather than a residential one. The absence of modern elements like cars and paved roads further supports the timeframe being around 1920-50.

The street extends into the distance with several people crossing it at various points, adding to the sense that work continues despite pedestrian traffic. Vehicles are visible on both sides; notably an older model truck is parked on one side of the road while another vehicle seems in motion or has just passed through. The overall setting and activity convey a snapshot from urban development during early industrialization.

The image's historical context, as referenced by Horydczak (1890-1971), may allude to a specific photographer whose work documented life on the streets of Wa [...]

The image is a black and white photograph showing an individual who appears to be leaning over on the street, possibly in despair or exhaustion. They are wearing what looks like torn clothing with a jacket and pants that appear worn out.
Behind them is a building made of wood with two doors; one seems slightly open while the other closed. The architecture indicates this could potentially be located within Chinatown, San Francisco as mentioned in additional information about it being found in "The street of the slave girls" by Arnold Genthe between 1896 and 1906.

The image is a black and white photograph depicting an urban street scene from what appears to be the late 19th or early 20th century. It shows two individuals; one bending over on a curb, reaching into a trash can with their right hand extended towards it. This person wears loose-fitting clothing including trousers and a coat, indicative of modest attire perhaps in a working-class setting.

The second individual stands further down the street to the left side of the frame wearing formal wear that suggests they may be middle or upper class, consisting of a suit jacket, vest, and hat. The background includes wooden buildings with boarded-up windows, suggesting abandonment or disrepair common during economic hardship periods like depressions or wartime.

The photograph is labeled in white at the top as "43-A WHID WHCD" along with additional markings that may indicate cataloging for historical records keeping. It appears to be part of a collection, potentially related to Chinatown due to textual reference present and contextual clues within Genthe's known work area during his career.

The ground shows signs of litter including a plastic bag on the curb, further emphasizing an environment in disarray or neglect. The street itself is unpaved with visible puddles reflecting ambient light, suggesting either recent rainfall or general poor maintenance practices.

The image is a black and white photograph depicting an alleyway at night, illuminated by sparse street lamps. There are several individuals visible in the scene; they appear to be walking down the narrow passageway between buildings with closed shutters or doors on either side.

At least four people can be seen: one person standing alone facing away from the camera, and three others following him slightly at a distance. The individual leading is wearing what seems like dark clothing, possibly a coat and hat, while carrying an item in his right hand that could resemble papers or documents. His posture suggests he may be engaged with whatever object he's holding.

The other figures are partially obscured by the darkness; it's unclear if they're moving closer to him or walking away from the camera source of light. The alleyway is quite dark, and aside from a couple of distant street lamps that provide minimal illumination, there isn't much additional lighting in this setting.

On one side of the alley, text appears on what looks like an Asian script written vertically along the building's surface; however, no specific information can be gathered from it due to its size and angle. The overall atmosphere is somewhat mysterious or perhaps foreboding owing to the low visibility and nighttime conditions captured in this snapshot.

The photograph carries historical significance as [...]

The image depicts a bustling street scene from Chinatown, San Francisco between 1896 and 1906. A group of people dressed in early 20th-century attire are walking down the sidewalk with various expressions on their faces as they go about their day. The buildings flanking the street have numerous windows and signs written in what appears to be Chinese characters, indicative of a Chinatown neighborhood. One prominent sign reads "gambling" which may suggest that this area was known for its gambling establishments during that time period.

The image depicts two young children standing on a street, holding hands and appearing to be dressed warmly in what seems like winter clothing. The older child is wearing boots with thick soles while the younger one has shoes that look less sturdy. They are both wearing large coats or jackets, some of which appear worn out.

Behind them, there's an urban setting typical for early 20th-century American cities; wooden pallets and a pile of what looks like construction debris can be seen to their right side while on the left is part of a building with windows. A few more individuals are walking in the background but they're not focused.

The photo seems aged, possibly black-and-white due to its grainy texture and faded colors which suggest it could have been taken many decades ago. It's difficult to ascertain specifics about location without explicit context provided by identifiers or signs within the photograph itself. However, given that this image is cited as part of a collection on Chinatown in San Francisco between 1896-06, it’s likely capturing daily life from an ethnic district during a time when such neighborhoods were common urban features.

The photographer's name appears to be Arnold Genthe (1869–1942), based on the provided information.

The remaining autumn leaves are beginning to fall and a sharp, cold wind is sweeping through the stone-paved alleys of Higashiyama, Kyoto. Standing beneath the Yasaka Pagoda, you can truly feel the seasons shifting.

1. Yasaka Pagoda rising above traditional wooden buildings in Kyoto’s Higashiyama Ward, seen on a sunny day with long shadows on the stone-paved street and visitors walking in the foreground.

2. A wide-angle view of the historic Ninenzaka street in Kyoto’s Higashiyama Ward. The scene features a downward-sloping stone-paved path lined with traditional wooden Japanese buildings under a clear blue sky, with tourists walking through the area.

3.A scenic view of Ichinenzaka street in the Higashiyama Ward of Kyoto. The stone-paved pedestrian lane curves gently between traditional Japanese machiya houses and a high stone retaining wall. A vibrant red maple tree adds a splash of autumn color against the cream-colored walls and the deep blue sky.

4.A wide, flat stone-paved boulevard on Nene-no-michi street in Kyoto. The path is lined with traditional low wooden walls, historic buildings, and manicured trees under a bright blue sky, capturing the preserved atmosphere of the Higashiyama district.

The image is a black and white photograph depicting an urban street scene from the late 1800s to early 1900s. A man dressed in dark, formal attire with a hat stands prominently on the left side of the frame; he appears to be holding or about to embrace another person who is partially obscured by his arm. The individual being held seems smaller than the standing figure and may be wearing spectacles.
In the background, there are multiple two-story buildings typical for urban environments during that period, with visible balconies on various floors. Several people can be seen walking along this street; some wear hats indicative of fashion from a bygone era. The overall atmosphere suggests Chinatown in San Francisco, as suggested by the context provided.
The image carries historical significance and is likely part of Arnold Genthe's collection documenting specific places or communities during that time period. It captures daily life within an urban setting through its candid composition and provides insight into social interactions among individuals from various walks of life at a given moment in history.

The image shows a group of people, likely from the late 19th to early 20th century, gathered on what appears to be a street in an urban area. The crowd consists mainly of men and boys wearing hats, coats, and some with beards or mustaches, suggesting they might be working-class individuals. There are also women and children among them, dressed modestly but distinctively from the adult males' attire; one child is notably smaller than average.
The setting seems to depict a community scene possibly in Chinatown due to its crowded nature of urban street life. The black-and-white photo's grainy texture suggests it was taken with early photographic techniques or has been processed that way for an aged look, typical of historical images from the late 1800s to early 1900s.
There is also a basket and what appears to be a barrel in the background on the left side. The overall composition captures daily life, potentially showing people waiting, conversing or simply standing around as they go about their day-to-day activities.

The black and white image depicts a group of people standing on what appears to be a street or public area. There are at least seven individuals visible, all dressed in dark clothing with hats. Among them is one child wearing an elaborate costume that seems reminiscent of clown attire with large glasses, boots, gloves, and possibly face paint.

The background shows buildings made from wood or another material common for structures during the late 19th century to early 20th-century era. Some street features like utility poles can also be seen. The overall setting gives a historical feel that suggests it may have been taken in Chinatown of San Francisco, likely between 1896 and 1906 based on an archival reference.

The image seems candidly captured without any staging or formal composition, which is typical for the time period when such photographs were common. The attire of the individuals indicates a cooler climate as they are all wearing heavy clothing appropriate for colder weather conditions during that era in San Francisco.

The image depicts a group of people standing on a street, likely from the late 19th or early 20th century. The individuals appear to be engaged in conversation and casual observation as they stand near what seems to be an entrance with railings.
There are seven visible figures: three adults wearing coats and hats indicative of the era's style, two children dressed warmly, possibly suggesting colder weather, one woman sitting on a bench or low wall holding a child. The group is standing in dim lighting that casts soft shadows around them, hinting at an overcast sky or shaded area.
The street appears to be narrow with limited activity, and buildings can be seen in the background with architectural features such as cornices and awnings typical of urban environments during this period. There's a sense of everyday life captured on film without any apparent urgency or distress among those present.
This photograph is attributed to Arnold Genthe (1869-1942), known for his work documenting San Francisco, particularly Chinatown. This specific image falls within the timeframe mentioned in its source note and seems to capture a slice of daily life from that era. The black-and-white nature of the photo reinforces its historical context.
The photograph's caption "An afternoon airing" suggests it could be part of Genthe’s series or collection documenting particular aspects of Chinatown, [...]
