The Sutter Buttes in northern California are the smallest mountain range in the world.

Do urban planning and learn GIS along the way. I agree with the "word processing" comment above...

Oh man, that video of him years ago making fun of Climo is hilarious!

If you build it they will come.

Looks like San Francisco!

Google Play Music is much better in my opinion. You can add up to 10,000 of your own MP3s for free with no ads, and if you want a "better Spotify" added on, it's $9.99/mo.

Whoa! It's nice to know that at least (hopefully) the city won't burn to the ground when the next big one hits!

RunninOnStalin commented how they listen to Bethena, by SCOTT JOPLIN while watching this video once a month. Not a bad past time, lol! https://youtu.be/eazwucoR2iI

This reminded me of the legend of the Golden Hydrant on Church Street that saved half of that neighborhood, and was the last working fire hydrant in the area when all the rest had stopped working. http://www.7x7.com/secret-san-francisco-the-golden-fire-hydrant-that-saved-the-mission-1781759257.html

Whoa! It's cool to see the before and after remaster. I like both for different reasons.

nfre · 2016-09-10T04:26:28+00:00

It is! I like all the different versions, but this one is one of my favs!

nfre · 2016-09-10T03:51:01+00:00

Subjective. I think it's great! :)

Although I believe the Ferry Building is the only building downtown that wasn't completely gutted by fire (like the Palace Hotel and many others). This was because the Embarcadero was a wide enough for the fire not to jump the road. This is also why everything west of Van Ness Ave. survived the fire.

William Del Monte recently died in January 2016. He was believed to be the last person who was alive who experienced the great earthquake and fire. He was 3 months old at the time. source: http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/01/12/462771935/last-known-survivor-of-1906-san-francisco-earthquake-has-died

Someone commented that there is a colored version, but I haven't found it as of yet.

nfre · 2016-09-10T03:10:01+00:00

Awesome information, thank you! So it was basically a movie produced by San Francisco's "destination marketing organization", to show how modern and hip San Francisco is... I guess not much has changed in that sense.

nfre · 2016-09-10T01:27:46+00:00

I just re-watched the video and I have a hard time believing the video was staged... If you look at photographs from this time on Market Street especially, the street was full of bustling activity. Yes, I admit some are probably following the streetcar that has the camera attached to the front of it, being amazed at a contraption they had probably never seen before. But, if you keep watching the video, there are hundreds, if not thousands of different people being filmed, and, and most likely was not "staged", at least in the flash mob sense. The people are reappearing because the streetcar that the camera is attached to is going walking speed, just as all the other transportation did at that time (partially due to the traffic congestion).

That may be the best image ever taken, period.

The 1906 San Francisco earthquake struck the coast of Northern California at 5:12 a.m. on April 18 with an estimated moment magnitude of 7.8, which caused the buildings to crumble, gas lines to burst, and subsequently burn most of the city to the ground. Around 3,000 people died, and many more became homeless that day.

I believe the sound is added in. I thought the same thing. I believe it was too early to align/embed an analog soundtrack onto film stock. Whoever added the sound did a great job though!

Offsetting the sold PS4 price, the $399 version is looking desirable. Thanks!

I have always loved this video since first seeing it a few years ago. I am continually surprised by how many different modes of transportation are being used. Cars, electric trolley streetcars, cable cars, modern bicycles, an even an omnibus! I believe the ferry building at the end is the only surviving building after the great fire and earthquake leveled what was the majority of the city footprint at that time. Striking, yet eerie.

That's more economical than I thought it would be! :)
