  • thanks for posting...oh how awesome america was

  • In sf every Tuesday at 12:00 in the afternoon you can hear the sirens ! I'm 22 I like how there fasion in those days they are so classy the worse fasion was the early 90's

  • No flip flops, tattoo's piercings or a majority anti Western savage with criminal intent, because the POLICE and citizens would not take it for one moment back them.

    Majority were still Western folks in 1950

  • a time before it became a shit hole. now I can't even step out my apartment with out seeing faggots and junkies.

  • So that's when they started the sirens, 1951. When I was growing up, some ten years later, it was a common occurrence.

  • Wow, wastes alot of time explaining the sirens!

  • I have to say I think this is great, I saw a comment on some other video post about the 40's/50's and how they wished these short historical documentary film makers had stopped and spoke to the people of the day..well here we are! sure it's a little bit raw but it was a brand new idea and people were not used to having a camera pointed at them and a mic stuck under their nose. I think the commentator does pretty well considering how shy and nervous people were, and how new his job was.

  • What video are you all commenting on? Other than this guy not having refined the art of pacing in a television broadcast, and going on altogether too much about them newfangled air raid sirens, I saw nothing to be negative about. The train engineer was pretty cool. And what's this above about sex, or Kerouac? What in heaven's name do they have to do with this clip? You folks is weird.

  • wow i'm so glad san francisco is not like that anymore. thank god for the 60s!

  • You don't understand that there used to be a sense of dignity in our society. Sex was a private matter between a husmand and wife. What happened in the 60s is not my idea of freedom at all.

  • "Man on the street" in SF!! Where's all the fairies and junkies? Oh yeah, it was 1950...

  • @randy95023 Back in those days filming right on the street was a big deal. It was as though you were there.

  • What a dork.
