Look how great the Muni service was back then!

This video was allegedly filmed a week or so before the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. The filmmakers mounted a camera on a San Francisco streetcar and went all the way down Market Street to the Ferry Building. Aside from the obviously amazing things in this footage, I was also struck by how frequently the streetcars ran. They're almost bumper to bumper! Anyone who's ever stood i the wind on Market Street waiting for the F car knows that things have changed a lot since then....

And this is just the data they're tracking. . .

Saw this time lapse video of the spread of rising unemployment in the USA. I'm not sure that shopping is going to turn this thing around.
