      Yeah that should be A landmark But I remember it being a cosmetic store where they sold all kinds of creams and Shampoo stuff, But I know they had a wall with a plaque
      Commemorating of how it used to be a camera shop, but apparently whoever was recording walked by one of the most important Castro antique shops of all. Still the castro district is not The Castro anymore. Strangely, when you walk the Castro late evening you can hear these very eerie sounds like far away voices_ It kind of sounds like when you are in a cathedral and you hear echoes high up Coming from the ceilings, Sometimes it sounds like crying, and it clearly comes from the air not from any of the buildings. 💔

    A different cast of characters every few years. Overall the streets and buildings look the same but the faces on the street are always changing. People doing their gay lifestyle thing, each in his/her turn. My girlfriend and I lived a few blocks over near Dolores Park and we always shopped at Cliff's on weekends. My friend Barry (RIP) worked the cash register back then. // What month of the year was this video made? Must have been a month or two before Christmas?

    Rule of thumb... When on the freeway and you need to walk because your car got stranded, walk in the way of traffic... NOT against traffic.
    Cars drive on the right in The U.S. The left in Europe, I think....
    Sidewalks are for entertainers... but NEEDING to be shared with pedestrians. One Way, sir.
    OR... might it be that you should turn back and head going against traffic if stranded on the freeway? I forgot my driver's ed teachings..
    'I found love on a two way sidewalk'...
