Gilman & Curtis, Berkeley, 1941
A view northerly along the Key System G-line & Santa Fe Railroad routes. Elevated Bart track now run along here. (I've ridden my bike a few times along the Ohlone Greenway here) I'm not exactly sure how this picture was taken, anybody know? #sfhistory #sfmemory

Happy to have helped my old friend Tom find a picture of his car, thanks to @peterhartlaub.bsky.social for taking up the challenge. This is why I do this. #sfhistory
I wrote this story on a tip from @davidgallagher.bsky.social, after one of the 1952 race cars surfaced in Penn Valley.
Car-free JFK forever. But if the owner gets this running I think we should allow 1 lap at 10 miles per hour just for history.

Redwood City, Anti-Napalm Day, May 28, 1966
It took a bit of work to figure these out. John Ungaretti was 16 when he took them. They marched from Sequoia High School to the port where Napalm was produced. Carleton Goodlett, Robert Scheer, & others spoke to the crowd. more at sfmemory.org #sfhistory

From the latest SFMemory.org update. I recently acquired many local family pictures in large discarded collections, sometimes they show identifiable places but often they are just personal, I'm not sure whether or not they add to the public record. I like this one. #sfhistory

Candlestick Cove, circa 1957
A view southerly from Bayview Hill, showing a completed US101 Freeway and Candlestick Cove housing. This housing was built for war workers in 1943 & was removed by mandate by 1970. In the early 50s, freeway construction cut the neighborhood in half. #sfhistory #sfmemory

This one will be remembered as one of the greatest Giants wins over the Dodgers of all times. Move over Bobby Thomson, Mike Ivie, Joe Morgan, Brian Johnson. Patrick Bailey needs a seat!
The San Francisco Giants beat the division-leading Dodgers 5-1 on Patrick Bailey’s grand slam in the 10th, and the team is now just a half game behind the Mets for a wild-card spot.
