Check out this great video of San Francisco from 1958. I would have to say not much has changed other than renovated buildings but SF does look much cleaner in 1958 with not as many (perhaps none) homeless on the streets.

Jeff Altman of Chicago discovered this beautiful old film reel of his grandfather’s, entitled “Alameda 1958.” Altman’s grandfather, who is pictured in front of the camera and behind the scenes, had traveled to San Francisco via a navy aircraft. Altman also has a reel documenting his grandfather’s voyage to SF, which he will be posting on Vimeo soon
