Following in my own footsteps (Part five)

Closing out the set of 1980s slide pictures I had converted into digital recently by Digital Revolution: (Thumbnail images)

  

An old time streetcar leaving the Transbay Terminal, turns on to Mission Street from Fremont Street in August of 1983, (I think) and a bus leaving the Salesforce Terminal turns on to Mission from Fremont now. The Salesforce Tower blocks out the view of the old Pacific Telephone Building from here now.

 

This area wasn’t too “groovy pot-pie” (a girl I know named Kiki use to say that in the 80s) when I took this picture under the Bay Bridge 17 years before Giants Stadium changed all that.

  

Wow, I don’t know what was going on here, but it made a nice picture from the Embarcadero south of the Ferry Building.

  

Fisherman’s Wharf from the footbridge that goes from Pier 39 to the parking garage: The SkyStar Wheel blocks the view now, but that doesn’t bother me, I like that thing.

    

The Embarcadero from Telegraph Hill: Back in 1983, they painted most of the piers mellow yellow and baby blue. I remember that I didn’t think that was groovy pot-pie either. They’ve changed them back to pier gray now.
