San Francisco in 1906

I stumbled across this short film and thought I would share. There are also films of Barcelona in 1908 and London in 1927. The one from London is in color! Pretty cool.

An interesting little bit of history from 104 years ago. Its pretty cool to see how things once were. Thanks for posting.

I've been there. They still drive like that.

That's really cool. Especially the complete lack of apparent traffic rules; the ecclectic mix of horses, automobiles, pedestrians, and street cars; and the complete disregard for personal safety!
