I love that footage of the Fillmore, pre-redevelopment.

Great Video. I noticed all the cars were American just about all the people were white.I realize there wasn't any shots of Chinatown yet No rainbow flags flying or guys wearing leather chaps or kids wearing crack pants down their butts playing "Satanic Reggae (rap music) It was America !!!!!

Good. This is "Carmina Burana Fantasy" by Sandy Bull, from his Fantasias for Guitar and Banjo from 1963.

From a 5th Generation San Franciscan I wish my Father was alive to view and comment here since he was in his early 20's in 1961.

"The past is a foreign country. They do things differently there". I'll take the 'past' over the 'present' any day. This film is living proof.

It might be 1962 actually. I spy two 1962 Cars: A Pontiac Catalina and a Ford Galaxie.

@ripperduck I agree. My family goes back to the mid 1800s in San Francisco, we stayed all through the 80s. But there's no way my working class grandpa and my stay-at-home grandma could afford to live in the Sunset today on his Muni wages.
Too bad. I loved growing up in the city. I miss it.
I'm from The City and seeing this makes me miss it SO much. I was born after this was shot but the place was still great up until the early 80's, It's been gentrified to the point that regular folks like me or my parents could never live there. Damn shame, but maybe it'll go back to the "cool gray city by the Bay" once again.

The dot-commies, fmr. Mayor Brown et al. all should be ashamed at the destruction of this wonderful city. I am one of the late 90's-early 2000's exodus of many thousands of artists, low-middle income residents, (not to mention all the funky/unique businesses)--this very combination gave the city a culture to be proud of but we can no longer afford to stay there.
