Life was so much better in slow motion.

I didn’t know there were so many cars in 1906.

No lie. This is a LOT like China today, except China’s a lot faster and replace the horses with scooter.

Love how daring people are, taunting the Cable cars, cutting in front of them at the last min. horses walking in front. Did not see anyone without a hat, well maybe the manikin in the window, but hey

Great video! The camera must have been a very strange site (they were huge at that time) and I think it’s cool watching all the peoples reactions as it slowly drives by.

The music is in B minor & plays the progression

I, iii, IV, V
I, iii, IV, V
I, iii, IV, V

ad infinitum. Well done all around.

My 91-year old mom will enjoy it. Was somewhat ahead of her time though (1918).

They must have recorded from a cable car/trolley. Somebody did a good job of getting it to run at the right speed. Because they used fewer frames when run in modern projectors people look to be moving double speed in a jerky manner.

Somebody was doing a good job removing the horse apples.

Very few women and some of the men were doing some very risky things. I find it hard to believe that many people were out in the middle of the streets or running while hanging on to the backs of cars, etc.

It’s very obvious that road rules of any sort did NOT exist 105 years ago in San Francisco.
Do they have rules there now???
