San Francisco 1965 archive footage

[@pmafterdark]

Year of my birth. Beautiful old cars and when S.F. was still a great place to be.

[@thejdgoodwin]

I love San Francisco today! But I'm a transplant from Florida, so the bar was set pretty low for me.

Who else has gotten addicted to watching these Footageforpro videos lately lol? Edit: In my opinion, it’s the best channel for old archive footage.

[@samha6055]

[@dflf]

born and raised in the City. I turned 11 in '65

[@Doug-mc3dd]

I am digging that crazy Hammond Organ sound.

[@argopunk]

Wow! No feces, urine, and needles on the sidewalks! No boards on the store windows. Man, the best was yet to come.

[@handsomestik]

Grandad was cop in this city around this time

[@grovergrandle3018]

I remember that california academy of sciences

[@thejdgoodwin]

CalAcademy is a jewel. I go there a few times every year. It's better than ever.

[@stanharry3722]

It was a lot better back then and was clean no homeless, drugs or anything it looks like it was better for sure..

[@thejdgoodwin]

That's bullshit. You know it. I know it.

[@ArtamStudio]

That stuff was there back then too, just not where the tourists would shoot film footage.

[@thejdgoodwin]

@@ArtamStudio Can you guess what percentage of tourists were carrying Super 8 film cameras in 1965, and compare that number to the percentage who carry a video-capable smartphone in their pockets today? The difference between the two figures may shed some light on why such footage of contemporary cityscapes proliferates today.

In 65' our family drove to NYC to attend the Worlds Fair. Stayed with my uncles family who had a 62' Ford T-Bird.

Used to love the Japanese tea garden when the waitresses wore kimonos and the tea and crackers were less than a dollar. Amazing to actually see someone cleaning the streets!

[@freespirit21newyork]

My birth year 1965 whatta big difference OMG people were fully living life, and focused on the good things, life was easier then.

[@sylviaoropeza9189]

Nice to see a working fisherman’s wharf.

[@drucella5581]

Do you any old footage of the now gone, Playland at the beach???

[@RandyStevens-c6c]

Someone jacked around with the music. Used to be a different background score. And was alot better.

[@Doug-mc3dd]

They are at a Japanese restaurant. WW2 and the bombing of Japan was just 20 short years earlier.

[@Up.In.Smoke-1978]

Hard to believe we were about to get into that Stupid French colony war in March of that year. Homeless problem began in earnest Jan-20th-1981. From there downhill.

[@stevewilson3791]

Homeless rhymes with the Reagan Revolution,

[@drucella5581]

You could walk barefoot in my Lower Pacific Heights (Pine between Broderick and Baker Streets) neighborhood. Not Now!!!
