Telenews? Interesting. And notice the three menswear stores in a row. The 1947 movie, "Jassy," according to IMDB: Jassy, a 17th-century English girl with prophetic visions, is accused of witchcraft. Barney Hatton, whose father gambled away their home, aids her. Grateful, Jassy vows to help Barney reclaim his property, regardless of the consequences.
The level of detail in these street photos is remarkable. It’s like a series of doors into a lost world.
Evidently!The upshot: my father had a supreme sense of humor
View from the other side of the theaters at 920 Market Street, San Francisco, in 1948.
"Black Bart" on IMDB: California stage robber Black Bart meets European dancer Lola Montez.
Might have to watch that one.
That's a magnificent photograph!
The hands really help take the photo to the next level of excellence.
The European-like detail on these twin apartment buildings is remarkable. On Google Street View, they are still there and in beautiful shape; 1945 Broadway. The parked car is a 1940 Oldsmobile, Series 90.
OMG, That Oldsmobile, I Googled, 1940 Series 90, 4 speed automatic transmission, eliminated the clutch pedal completely! Humongous car!
This busy 1947 San Francisco scene is completely gone now, 757 Market Street. In its place is a big Four Seasons Hotel. I like the slow shutter speed with people in action.
According to Wikipedia, Robinson won that election (and the next as well)! I wonder what might have been in the Manning's building back in the 1920s or 30s. Was it a coffee shop then too?
I had no idea—that's great information. Sounds likely that that location had been a Manning's for many years.
In all these I'm always struck by the lack of graffiti.
