Only in San Francisco: a world without rules! The libertarian's dream. What would that look like? This film shows you clearly, with a camera mounted on a streetcar proceeding leisurely through the heart of the great city in a very casual mix of streetcars, horses, buggies, automobiles, bicycles, and fleet-footed pedestrians - a jaw-dropping sight sure to raise the hair on your head.
Just four days later, it all came crashing down. Alas, Babylon!
The film speed has been corrected, and a bit of sound and color added. The video description on the YouTube page explains how the film was made and much later found and restored. A priceless piece of American history you won't forget.
