Castro & Market, 1958
A view from the platform entering the Twin Peaks tunnel. A Muni M-line streetcar about to cross the intersection, traffic all around and passenger waiting, just a nice dynamic shot. I do a lot of repetitive streetcar shots, but this one just kind speaks. #sfmemory #sfhistory

Market & Castro, sometime in summer 1958, View northeast on Market from Castro, Muni M-line PCC street car #1109 about to enter the Twin Peaks Tunnel, a taxicab and traffic heading westerly on Market, Billboards for Coca-Cola and Redlick's Department Store (17 reasons Why) at right. the tower of Trinity Methodist Church southeast corner of Market and 16th Street in the background

Tanforan, 1912
The then-closed Tanforan racetrack in San Bruno hosted many different kinds of event in the 1910s. December 26, 1912 saw Lincoln Beachey in his plane race Daredevil Edwards in a car. (Beachey would later die in a crash in SF Bay during the PPIE) #sfmemory #sfhistory #sanbruno

Powell near Eddy Sep 22, 1953
Market Street in the background. Muni Powell Street cable car #509 on the turntable. The Douglas Building (Gray's suits sign) at right would be demolished in the 1960's for Bart & Hallidie Plaza. Carlton Koski took this pic 73 years ago today. #sfmemory #sfhistory
