@@kathleenking47it was a great and inexpensive place until the mid 60s. It remained inexpensive until the mid to late 70s. It was an ethnic city, a lot of Italians who fished, also, if I'm not mistaken, many Irish. A working class city.
Thanks so much for this remastering of old SF. Being a 3rd Gen SF Native this footage makes my heart soar. I left a while back and it seems the city will Never be the same as we have all seen in the headlines. Just heartbreaking. Its so very nice to see what my relatives and parents got to experience back in those days. It was still a blast in the 60's and 70's and thats no lie. Being a kid in SF in the 70's was the Best! Lived in the Sunset and the Richmond. Oh the memories. Thank you so much~
Thanks so much for this. I live in SF, it means a lot to me. It is fascinating, the closest we can achieve to a time machine. However, that is not a subway. At that time SF did not yet have a subway. What is shown is the old Key System trains, which went on the Bay Bridge between SF and Oakland. That is when the Bay Bridge devoted one of its decks to trains. On the SF side the trains went into downtown to the Transbay Terminal. I’d love to know more about the circumstances of these films. How they happened, why they were made. Making films like these then was a lot more complicated, and a lot more expensive, than it is today. People didn’t think of recording so much of their lives. You couldn’t just pull a phone out of your pocket and start making a video anytime you cared to. But I am VERY GRATEFUL to the people who made these films back then, whatever their reasons were for doing so.
This was 90 years ago. Let that sink in, no internet, no cell phones, just walking and talking. Now imagine 90 years in the future. How much progress will we see from now to then? I love seeing these, it’s a wonderful look into the past.
Progress? Each generation has regressed since around 1900. Airships, trolleys and people with a balanced demeanor seem like a higher satisfaction of living. Today, we have people addicted to their pocket tv and drugs prescribed by the guy who wears a lab coat. 90 years from now, we will be more enslaved and less aware.
Love seeing my old hometown in its long lost glory. What a charming film. Loved the couple dancing. Your music selection was wonderful. Thank you as always NASS. Your restoration abilities are simply the best!!!
Great footage and restoration! The dancing part 3:59-5:39 of the video is from @1910 not the 1930's are the other parts as correctly stated. The colorization makes everyone look so alive!
@@nwicconsultants6640 The footage exists elsewhere and is dated from the mid-1910's. The second dance seen is a dance called the Texas Tommy. Here is the original clip: ruclips.net/video/7EljmkQSf7s/видео.html
The outfits worn by the dancers (especially the women's shirtwaists) are also anachronistic for the late 1930s (I'd guess late 1938 at the earliest, given the Tower of the Sun on Treasure Island).
Nass, Thanks for the upload. I always love the 1920's-1940's shots! I always loved the men's dresswear in the 1930-1940's too with the hats, nice suits and shoes. Something that's sadly lacking today! At 7:22 cool scenes on the bridge!
Thank you for posting … my grandparents both San Francisco natives would have been in their early 30’s and my uncle was a newborn.. my dad had not been born yet… very neat to see what they would have seen living in the city in the 30’s.
Toll on SFOBB was .25 cents each direction. Rode Key System twice. The creosote and grease smells at the TransBay Terminal still permeate my brain cells. This is a very rare Oakland to SF transit. Thanks Nass for another great restoration.
How incredible to see things from the inside of a car back then. Really makes things more immersive instead of feeling like a floating camera. Still though all incredible work. Thank you!
I was thinking much the same thing. The clothes definitely predate the 30s. Maybe 1910s or very early twenties. It's different from the rest of the film. Also, note that in all the shots of San Francisco, people are dressed for winter. But in the clip of the black people dancing ,it's clearly warm from the clothes they are wearing. No heavy coats and several of the men are wearing straw boaters which were only worn during summer. The ladies are wearing skirts down to their ankles and the one guy is wearing what looks like button up boots with a very stiff shirt collar. Those were all long out of style by the 30s.
It all appears to be late 1937, or early 1938 except for the minute and a half starting at about 4 minutes in, when it's clearly footage from about 1912 - 1914, and the dancers are demonstrating one of the latest dances, perhaps the Turkey Trot or Bear Hug. I wonder how that footage got there? Anyway, fascinating, as usual, thanks!
Fantastic footage. Some of the ships were famous ocean liners of the pacific trade (San Francisco to Hawaii to Japan, to the Philippines and in some cases on to Singapore and or Hong Kong). As noted in another comment, I think the scene with the black people dancing was from an earlier time based on their clothing.
An old Key System commuter rail trip across the SF-Oakland Bay Bridge. Tres cool. Looks like 1936 or '37, from the license plates. Dancing scenes look much older.
thanks nass late to the party again today because of work! i just want to thank you for a another glimpse of the past! im ur biggest fan ! blessings from north carolina
That 1910-20’s skirt the woman wore for dancing revealed that they were more like coolat pants, or very lose wide pants skirt. Plus, it had pockets. Very well made.
At 4:00 .....this was a time when there was still intense racism and other policies put in place for POC and yet here they were, acting and conducting themselves with such a level of class, decorum and self respect that I struggled to see today.
This has been my favorite film. The dancing in the street and cars on the Bay Bridge. Also the rails on the bridge still. I wonder if the dancing was down in "the Mo" (Fillmore street.)
Merci Nass de nous permettre de plonger à nouveau dans ce passé... où tout était encore possible... merci pour ce travail inlassable de recherches documentaires et que cela suppose...
Last video of 1903 SAN FRANCISCO NONE of my grandparents were born, now in this one both sets are married and already having my parent's, how time flies.
How beautiful! People were having a life! Maybe overcoming the troubles they could face,they still make time to enjoy life.we all know what happened🤔🤔🤔Thanks again for taking us the old times!👏👏👏
Oh THAT TIME had its woes too. At no time have there ever been true freedom, joy, equality for all….not since Adam/Eve sinned in Eden. BUT, there is a NEW WORLD coming, this one is coming to an end. For ALL who have believed on JESUS…our future is BRIGHT and full of HOPE. I can’t hardly wait. Even so, come quickly, LORD JESUS🎺🎚️⏰🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Watching old films like this I often wonder how many people today could actually survive without access to their devices and toys. I’m often told how hard it was back in the day but seeing people dancing in the streets and actually enjoying each other’s company it couldn’t be all bad. Growing up in the 60s and 70s I always thought it was pretty cool before things went stupid with political correctness and nanny state rules and I reckon ok things would have been hard in the 1900s but people always coped unlike so many today.
The food that millionaires were eating in those days, anyone could now buy the same or better quality in your local supermarket. Make of that what you will.
This just reminds me how far we have fallen in our culture. Streets were safe. People were pleasant and had class. And this was during the height of poverty and despair of the Great Depression. Just makes me sad for our children and grandchildren...
The Streets were safe and pleasant for some people. I saw a similar video of Berlin late 1930's when someone said streets looks safe and clean and everyone looks happy 😢.
"Streets were safe. ' - oh please, that's one of the distortions of the past that only exist in creative fiction. "People were pleasant and had class. " - as if there were not all sorts of conflicts, broken families, homelessness, etc.
So the Bay Bridge used to carry rail...should have kept it that way...Anyone from back then who was transported to 110 years in the future would be horrified to see what's happened to that city. I actually lived in that city for a few years - on the same street where Shirley Temple grew up (a few doors down from her home.)
At the same time, genocide was taking place in Germany. Cities bombed to the ground. Scores of people dying daily. Americans have had it pretty good. Aside from hating one another.
Love and hate are both four letter words. All people have an abundance of both, just like a coin with it's head or tail. Flip one and see which it will be today.

Im a native San Franciscan, aBd remember the Transbay Terminal shown Here in the 1960s, when it still had much of its 1930s aura.
The dancing was cool but I think that part was early 20s if not earlier.
So the lower deck ran trains. I did not know that.

@MarinCipollina yeah makes me wonder when they stopped allowing that. Must have been some accidents, people getting hit.
That was a trip at the end of video people were walking along side of the freeway right when the camera man cross the bridge?
The people on the street in the 1910s are dancing to a song that wouldn't be written until late 1953: "I Left My Heart in San Francisco".
Why do you think that is what they are dancing to? Dumb joke.
