★★★★★ · Thelma Todd's Sidewalk Cafe! · scram · 2012-03-25

What a thrill to see period footage of what would soon become Thelma Todd's Sidewalk Cafe, and to discover that visitors could try their luck petting an enormous parrot on their way upstairs to dine. Thanks for a fascinating piece of Southern California history.

Nice little tour of SF, minus any guard rails I'm pretty sure they must have up by now judging by the STEEP cliffs we see! Funny how things change..
