San Fransisco 1906

Check out this vintage footage in San Fransisco. Was filmed 4 days before the big 1906 earthquake (so they say)
Nice mix of autos, equestrian, streetcar, and pedestrian traffic.
Looks like everyone had the right of way....and no road rage?

Cool to watch. I guess when your vehicle has a max speed of twelve mph theres not too much hurry involved. People were probably still too stoked at being able to move around with out the smell of a horses arse in your face to have rage. :tumble:
