Video:

  • Check out this rather clear view, apparently out of the window of a car traveling down Market Street at night, in the 1960s, just before the street got torn up to build BART. You can see the Orpheum and Warfield both operating as movie theaters — Dr. Zhivago was showing at the Orpheum, so this was probably early 1966. The Proper Hotel was called the Hotel Shaw and it had a Greyhound terminal next to it. And there's plenty of vintage neon lighting up most of the building facades. (via @historyofsanfrancisco)
