Amazing footage throughout the whole presentation. I've recently become the Datacine Operator at the Library of Congress facility in Culpeper, VA., and I lived in San Francisco for 10 years as a kid. Really enjoyed watching.

I love that this is a video of spliced film as it's being viewed live. You hear a bunch of comic historians adding peppering current events over old history - citing dates & places from 1938 & cackling at the endless construction on 280. We should do this more often!
