Certainly a very different time.
No road rules, obviously.
More cars than I expected.
Very cool peek back in time!
Thanks.

Cool! I've driven that stretch of Market St. many times. No horses these days though.

Very cool, and the downtempo music is a genre that I like a lot.
Looks like people can drive on either side of the road, and the street is so wide they appear to be able to go 2 lanes in either direction to the left and to the right of the streetcar tracks. I lived in the south Bay area and went to school at Berkeley so I'm familiar with SF. I'm guessing the direction that the film was heading was toward the Embarcadero.
If this was 1905, that would be one year before the big earthquake. And for 1905 there are a surprising number of cars around.
