"Some have never known the wreckers' rattle. Those houses on Pacific that march toward posterity restored by dilettantes from Jackson Square painted up like aging actresses with eye-shadow windows and rouge-red doors." (Rod McKuen, Stanyan Street and Other Sorrows, 1966)
Never get tired of this view!
"It never happens nowhere else Maybe it's the air... I guess it's just the mood I'm in That acts like alcohol... Yes, I'm drunk in San Francisco And I don't drink at all.." ("I'm Always Drunk in San Francisco", Tommy Wolf, vocal: Carmen McRae) youtu.be/RUzYvwpEOLQ?si…
"Grant Avenue, San Francisco, California, U.S.A. Looks down from Chinatown Over a foggy bay. You travel there in a trolley, In a trolley up you climb— Dong dong! You’re in Hong Kong, Having yourself a time." ("Grant Ave.", Flower Drum Song, Rodgers and Hammerstein 1958)
"We learned in the magic heaped on the hills. The City is a golden handcuff with the key thrown away. Ask anyone about San Francisco, and odds are he'll tell you about himself and his eyes will be warm and inward, remembering." John Steinbeck, The Golden Handcuff, 1958)
"I gave up asking questions. If it pleases Providence to make a car run up and down a slit in the ground for many miles, and if for twopence halfpenny I can ride in that car, why shall I seek the reasons of the miracle?" (Kipling, American Notes, 1899)
There is no visible agency of their flight, but once in awhile you shall pass a...building humming with machinery that winds up an everlasting wire cable, and the initiated will tell you that here is the mechanism. (Kipling, American Notes, 1899)
"There has not been the least attempt at grading those hills...cable cars have for all practical purposes made San Francisco a dead level. They take no count of rise or fall, but slide equably on their appointed courses...for aught I know may run up the sides of houses."(Kipling)
"I found a mighty street, full of...buildings four and five stories...Here a tram-car, without any visible means of support, slid stealthily behind me and nearly struck me in the back. This was the famous cable car of San Francisco..." Rudyard Kipling, American Notes, 1899)
"Towards eleven o'clock the ladies from the great avenue a block above Polk Street made their appearance...they were at their morning's marketing. They were handsome women, beautifully dressed." (McTeague: Norris, 1899)
"At one end of the street McTeague could see the huge power-house of the cable line...A little later...came the clerks and shop girls...always in a hurry, glancing apprehensively at the power-house clock." (McTeague: A Story of San Francisco; Frank Norris, 1899)
Alcatraz pic. Following the Civil War, the army built several wooden cellblocks to hold the growing number of military convicts on the island. Up to 435 men were housed in these closet-sized cells. No lights, sanitation, beds or ventilation. The cells here lasted until 1907.
Alcatraz pic. The 'new' prison shortly after completion in 1912. This is the cellblock visitors see today. State-of-the-art when it opened, the cells featured electric lights, running water, toilets, and heat. Another nice touch: spittoons lining the corridor floor.
Alcatraz Pix. Another early view, taken around 1860. The first building on the island was the small lighthouse on the summit, finished in 1854. Simultaneously, the army began encircling the island with high masonry walls and open gun batteries. A Citadel topped the Rock.
Alcatraz 1852c. I've been researching the history of Alcatraz since the 1970s and now have over 6,900 photos documenting its evolution. People keep asking me to share, so let's get started. Here's possibly the earliest photo of the island, taken from Nob Hill circa 1852.
Transit Historian Charles Smallwood Came across this pic of Smallwood in the @SFMTAPhoto Archive. He wrote a critically important history of the Market Street Railway. If you have an interest in San Francisco's transit history, look for a copy of The White Front Cars #sfhistory

Here is dummy #46, ca. late 1880s, out on Sutter street! When ridership was light, like mid-morning, the company would sometimes run only the dummy without its trailer. Old San Franciscans enjoying a ride, suitably attired in proper hats & coats! Powell St. cable tracks at left.

Happy birthday to the great Duke Ellington! In the 60s, we lived in London. My parents went to a dinner at a fancy hotel. As they entered, they saw the Duke. My dad told him how much his music meant. He replied graciously and kissed my mother's hand. She said she nearly swooned.
@JoeBuonfiglio When they used to give out bumper stickers in the ‘80s, it was quite popular to cut off both the “b” and the second “r” in the word “burger”, in order to create an entire new meaning that had nothing to do with fast food…
