Looking Back Thursday: SF, 1970
A bookstore in an alley and street musicians from 1970, San Francisco. This may be the last in this series unless I can dig up some 45 year old prints that could be hidden about our home or garage.
Abandoned Green River
Derelict houses and outbuildings along the Green River. I’m not sure how or why the pallet got placed at the top of the dead tree below, but 25 feet up, there it is?
Looking Back Thursday: North Beach, SF, 1970
St. Peter and Paul Church in North Beach, San Francisco, July, 1970.
Abandoned Skagit Valley#2
What’s left of an old milking barn.
Abandoned Skagit Valley
Recently visited the Skagit Valley. We discovered some more abandoned houses, barns and outbuildings that I will be sharing in the coming weeks.
Looking Back Thursday: 1970
San Francisco Chinatown, July, 1970.
Looking Back Thursday: Keystone Korner, 1970
San Francisco, July 1970. The music venue Keystone Korner. Who remembers Boz Scaggs? How about Bennie Cecil and the Snakes? I think we may have to turn on the ‘Way Back Machine’.
Looking Back Thursday-Belated–(City Lights Books)
City Lights Books, in North Beach, San Francisco. Taken 1970, 35mm film. The bookstore survives to this day, looking nearly like it did 44 years ago.
Look Back Thursday:
Bay Bridge at sunrise. July, 1970, San Francisco. Original image, film, shot using 35mm Agfa camera.
Muzak:1970
Muzak vehicle spotted in the Financial District of San Francisco, 1970. How many of you were around when ‘Muzak’ was the company that piped in ‘music’ to offices, elevators and all?
Telegraph Hill 1970: Lonely Commute
Looking-Back Sunday: Taken on film in 1970, San Francisco. Sidewalk steps and a lone man in a suit heading for work.
Looking into the Past*
Vanessi’s was located in North Beach, at Broadway and Kearny. The restaurant closed in 1997. The gas station, also located in North Beach, was a little bit different than the usual corporate-designed station, even in the 1970’s-when these photos were taken.
*Both photos scanned from 35mm print film, over 40 years old.
SF YMCA:1971
Continuing with the scanned prints from 1971: I stayed one night in the Embarcadero YMCA. On the left side of the image you can see the double-decked Embarcadero. that no longer exists. My room seemed just feet from the traffic, making for a very memorable night, with little sleep.
Seattle’s Oldest Neighborhood
Walking around Georgetown, Seattle’s oldest neighborhood, recently. The day was sunny and clear so I thought it would be a good day for shadows and reflections.
No Clever Title
Try as I might, I can’t think of a witty title for this photo. Probably just as well. I wonder if the woman on her cell, in the background, is calling in an upright bass on the run?
