Wow, if people didn't have good judgment and timing they were done for.
Today, most people can't even make a left turn w/o a green arrow.

Fascinating, for the near-anarchy that somehow functions. No traffic lights, no stop signs, no police directing traffic (one policeman is clearly seen, but he’s doing nothing to control traffic). Horse-drawn vehicles, autos, street cars, pedestrians— all cutting each other off but somehow surviving.
To: Hildy
Wow, thanks. Love the music, too.

That’s how most cities in the third world still are.
To: Hildy
That was great. Early autos, horse-drawn carriages, streetcars, and pedestrians (dressed almost exclusively in black) all staying out of each other’s way, without street lights for assistance, with the greatest of ease and good cheer.
Some real character out there. Check out the big dude at the far right corner of the screen at the 1:16 mark. Very hip shades. Looks like Belushi in the Blues Brothers.

This is exactly what Wall Street will look like after Obama's second term.

I have found among my mothers things a photo album made by a cousin as he was stationed near S. F. during WWI. He went to the zoo. I wonder if it could also be dated? There are a couple of shots of the military camp and parade grounds.

Thanks, no road signs or lines telling people where to drive, yet everyone seems to be humming along just fine! Horses and cars! LOL thanks.

If you check out some of the sites devoted to the old muninciple railways, you will find many videos like these. I have seen this one, and I remember that on that site, they also had a video of the same trip just weeks AFTER the quake.....Awesome!
