Vintage shots from days gone by!

Did anyone else notice the name on the restraunt, to the right of Sak's Fifth Av. store. [post 2543]
Makes one wonder how long they lasted

Jack.

 

I think that was a brothel!

 

This is one of the few threads on the HAMB that I don't mind when it jumps up multiple pages in only a few hours.

Like UPS, this thread delivers:



Best vintage UPS photo I could find.

 

Kid's either got a really long left leg, or he's run someone down.

BS

 

...and his other leg is leaving the scene of the crime....

Here is a picture I just found today

 

detail at bottom of hill SF Playland Amusement park.

 

Ton photos sont tres bon, merci

 

Wish they hadn't torn down Playland. I'v been in that slot car track many times (rented cars), rode the Mad Mouse, and roller scatted out there in the same building that eventually became The Family Dog's last hoo-ra. Some street racing too late at night. The guys from Brotherhood Way had all that pretty much sewn up. Those were good times for a punk kid.

 

Thanks Dog. This is my new favorite pic. I'll take the aztec copper one please.
