Ah. Good catch.

I don't have any of those prints.

I have the one that hung in the old "City Of Paris", of an empty Cable Car at night.
I'm sure that there are other prints around. I've just never seen one.

I really like those pics! Anything from that era brings back a ton of memories.

Thanks for sharing them. (tu)

If #5 is Castro Street (I think it was) that would be the spot where when we came over the top of the hill, my wife, who was afraid of heights, slid down in the seat and put her feet up on the windshield in terror.

#5 looks like Filbert Street, which I think is the steepest street in the city. Here's my take on it.
