Curious

The building across the street from the high school is under construction in this 1923 photo. Do you know what it is and if it is still there.

[Apartment house, 1200 Francisco St., still there -tterrace]

Connections

The girls in this photo are holding yearbooks for Galileo High School, seen here at the right.

And the place is . . .

Van Ness Avenue just south of Francisco, the cross street in the background.

Which way do I go?

I hold the steering wheel this way and the car wheels go straight and follow the tracks going straight. But what if I follow this curve? Yes, that curve, there. The one in the road. And then how I do press the gas pedal if I'm standing out here holding the steering wheel? Oh, Mother said there'd be days like this.
