Look at this old photo of the San Mateo Bridge. I think the picture is from 1929.

612bv3 · May 11th, 2005, 02:11 AM

San Francisco skyline and look, Treasure Island isn't there! 1937

This picture is beautiful.

612bv3 · May 11th, 2005, 02:21 AM

I have never heard of these places until now.

IDORA PARK, OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA.

POOR BEARS

AND A JAPANESE TEA GARDEN IN PEIDMONT PARK

612bv3 · May 11th, 2005, 05:28 AM

I'll post some old pictures of SF later.

M.Poirot · May 11th, 2005, 08:16 AM

612bv3, I thought that there was a thread on old photos of SF in the forum, but I cant find it.

M.Poirot · May 11th, 2005, 08:43 AM

There's one thing missing in the West Coast forums, and thats rep. for the North Bay! SF people, pay a visit to your neighbor across the Golden Gate Bridge! Some activities include: hiking, hiking, hiking, the In'nOut Burger, hiking, and...hiking!

All right, time for some pics. (Not Mine)
Mill Valley, California-only 13 miles north of SF. Take note that the houses in center are only a fraction of the residential area in the city; the rest spreads out like a maze in the surrounding mountains. Also happens to be where I live

Here's Belvedere Island, a veery expensive residential district, with Angel Island in the background.

Another one of Belvedere Island, this time with the GGB in background

Corte Madera, just over the mountain from Mill Valley. Richmond Bridge in background

San Francisco from Sausalito

The Belvedere Lagoon

Sausalito house boats and Strwberry Point (Mill Valley) in back

Fog rolling into Sausalito

Sausalito again. The little scatter of houses you see right under the big mountain (Mt. Tamalpais) is Mill Valley

Sausalito Homes

Bayside Homes in Tiburon

Southern Marin and San Francisco

I guess I'll go out this weekend and take some pics of my own, but it might not happen.

There is, but it's much better putting all of them in one place.

Weird, you guys call that bridge San Anselmo Bridge.

M.Poirot · May 13th, 2005, 10:24 AM

Ah! I made a mistake. It's the Richmond Bridge. Sorry.

O, but it if you did call it the San Anselmo Bridge, it would be pretty interesting that people from different parts of the Bay Area call the bridges different names, O well. So where did San Anselmo Bridge come from? Is that a real bridge in the Bay Area?

M.Poirot · May 14th, 2005, 05:53 AM

I must've mixed it up with the San Mateo Bridge. The Richmond Bridge connects Richmond and San Rafael, and San Anselmo is like a siamese twin of San Rafael (the same street crosses city borders like four times in some areas. Crazy

). That's why I messed up.

612bv3 · May 16th, 2005, 01:22 AM

I don't think I've ever posted this picture of San Francisco yet here in this thread, but it's one of my favorite pictures of the San Francisco Skyline.

612bv3 · May 16th, 2005, 02:17 AM

Panama-Pacific International Exposition, 1915

Don't you wish most of these buildings weren't demolished. A lot of these building were extremely gorgeous, they'll be truly missed.

A Pano of the area, you can see the Palace of Fine Arts with the #17 of the top.

Monkey · May 16th, 2005, 02:31 AM

O thank you for this GREAT collection of buildings at the Panama-Pacific Exposition, bv3!

I am truly grateful that the Palace of Fine Arts survived.

But it's sad to see that the other buildings, some of them so whimsical and fantastically ornate, have vanished.

612bv3 · May 16th, 2005, 05:12 AM

I really wished this building stayed.

Monkey · May 16th, 2005, 09:58 AM

YES! It, the Fine Arts, and the Ceres Fountain!

Perhaps a couple more ...

naughtyins0mniac · May 21st, 2005, 02:00 AM

time for these..

i got some more.. ima post them next time..

612bv3 · May 21st, 2005, 04:22 AM
