Another MUNI Vignette -- Powell & Market 1968

Spring 1968 as BARTD and MUNI METRO construction wreak havoc. The "Summer of Love", which I still think existed more in legend and news film than reality, was a year gone, and after Mayor Jack Shelley broke ground Market became one big mess. Those of us who now have Medicare cards in our wallet should remember this. Outbound #1142 is on what had been the inbound and to its left is a new inbound track in the position the MUNI used during the Roar of the Four days.

Today, the facade of the "Big E", The Emporium still watches over Powell and Market but the interior is gone. Milen's Jewlers and Leed's Shoes have been consigned to the landfill of history.
