3:18 seconds into this movie I see my grandfather piloting one of the PBY planes flying over the bridge. It is the only film we have of him. He died a year later in an airplane accident off the coast of CA.

not fun to walk it. cars make it noisy, smelly and shake. plus fear of falling off the bridge and or seeing suicides. one a week.

see the kid riding his bike next to motorcycle cops? they didn't care or make a big deal about it. better times back then in san francisco. I have a original un-restored 1937 chevy pickup that still runs after over 75 years. they don't make cars or trucks like that anymore. I loved old s.f. the city is a sad shadow of what it used to be.
