Today is 120th Anniversary of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake.
The fire that followed burned three days and destroyed the central core of the city. Take a minute today & think about what it took to start over from scratch #sfmemory #sfhistory #1906earthquake

900lb crates full of onions in a field

The Coachella music festival is in the news with the minimum price of sold out 3-day ticket costing $549. Contrast that with "Nicolas" who is currently harvesting onions in the Coachella area and getting paid $22 for a $900lb crate. #WeFeedYou #coachella2026

257 Sam Crow glass plates 1910-1920. Many about the Red Cross, WWI, Golden Gate Park, but really striking here are the portraits both sassy and sweet. #sfmemory #sfhistory sfmemory.org/Update/2026-...

A friend lived at the Marin Town and Country Club in 80s. A California landmark and site of "Lord" Fairfax's estate, Bird's Nest Glen. A time capsule then with along crazy history of its own

100s of scans later, same event & cars. Voila! It's Pvt Eddie Conrad who caught the "gilded ball" thrown into the crowd at a game between the Seals & Oaks. He seems very happy, but no word of what he won. #sfhistory #sfmemory #baseball

I saw one of these at the ballpark, the beers and hotdogs are smaller than the usual (not that anyone needs 9 full size hot dogs) I can imagine sharing it friends, but generally speaking it's gimmick
