The traffic on the street is terrific, there are so many different vehicles... can anybody please tell me what the building at the end of the street/film is? (Just a curious German who's never been to the states...)

It's best viewed full-screen; there is no sound, of course. -------- Original Message -------- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnDjmNNC9So Film footage of San Francisco's Market Street from a moving cable car, before the 1906 earthquake and fire. The footage was filmed only days before the quake and shipped by train to NY for processing. This is truly a historical film record. ----------------------------------- Linda Walton, (in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, U.K., where the garden is longing for an April shower).
