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 couple portraits of the guy who took all these pictures I've been posting. He was a news photographer for the SF Examiner and Bulletin for over 30 years. #sfmemory #sfhistory
With this settlement the US is worse off in every way than it was before the war; Iran is strengthened by the huge new tolls in the Straits of Hormuz, paid by the whole world. (1/14)

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

a glass negative scan of Private Eddie Conrad holding the "gilded baseball" he retrieved after it was thrown into the crowd at and exhibition game between the Seals and Oaks, in the Presidio July 23, 1917
"His Trophy of the Game" The same photo on Eddie Conrad published in the San Francisco Call July 27, 1917
a news paper clipping describing the scramble for the ball after it was thrown into the crowd but Judge Thomas Graham
Presidio, 1917
A pic of a man in a car holding a baseball??
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
See you at the Big Texan!
File under: street cred
languid.. dude, I gotta get somewhere
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
