Vibrant Color Footage of San Francisco in 1958

Jeff Altman recently uploaded some gorgeous color footage of San Francisco which was filmed in 1958 during a visit to the city by Altman’s grandfather. Some aspects of the city–the cable cars, Chinatown, and the Golden Gate Bridge–were remarkably similar some 50 years ago. Others, like the cars, the indoor smoking, and Union Square, were completely different.
