Marin County Mystery, 1956

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

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.

Big Al's, 1968
Cashing in on the Bonnie & Clyde craze, here's "Creation of Love" Who knew those 1930s bank robbers wore leopard print underwear? (which they later take off) And I'm sorry but no shots of nude Bat Girl #sfhistory

Fairfax, 1985
A friend lived at the Marin Town & Country Club, of course I was captivated by the old signs and the decrepitude. Others have written a lot about this place, I haven't been there in years. #sfhistory

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
