HERE2 - A History of Golden Gate Park

[@lizswinney2637]

Brought back so many wonderful memories of my youth. Born 1955 SF. Miss the beauty of the old city.

Thank you.

The entrance off of Haight street is a Nexus of joy....it seemed everything went quiet when I entered the park on my only visit to S.F. ....THE best place in the U.S. period...I did not want to leave. Excellent video!

[@lymarchvideo]

Not the quiet, but the joy is sort of what that area meant for folks during the early hippie days in the Haight, circa 1965-66.

[@StONed-mb1iv]

@lymarchvideo I was born in ‘66! I’m in!!

[@tammay7254]

Excellent video! I love San Francisco and I used to live about 3 blocks away from the park (the Botanical Garden entrance) and we could see the park from the balcony outside the kitchen. I can kick myself now for almost never having exploited the opportunity of living so near such a beautiful place and having visited there more often than a few times. You never really appreciate what you have until it's gone :-(.

Your form of pleasure is the best. Glad you ended Coney Island too. So many fun rides, and only a few million people back then Progress is all work and retreat, no play, perfect! Need those vacations from your perfect life

[@richardmiranda640]

A past, not passed, what’s wrong with people?

[@kcalb3180]

the moral of a MUSEUM is preserve and proof history, not to REWRITE history

[@lostknowledge1709]

No Tartarian Buildings to see here. Just move along. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@mr.underhill9045]

The SECRET San Francisco... ⛏️🗝️💎🤫... Soon....

[@bry117]

I think the park took some inspiration from Central Park

[@thestevedoughtyshow27]

No mention of the Chinese garden built for the fair. Sutro owner the Clif house before 1887.

[@lymarchvideo]

You may mean the Japanese Garden...

[@thestevedoughtyshow27]

@lymarchvideo No, in 1894 at the mid winter fair it was called the Chinese garden.

[@MrBrendog67rat]

i wish they never tour down the old Academy of sciences

[@lymarchvideo]

Yes, it was a significant place in my childhood too, the new one somehow does not emotionally match the old one.
