As a child I genuinely used the cable cars each day to get to school and they will forever be my favorite piece of infrastructure
we need these kind of online documentaries, every year less younger generations are having dvd palyer at their home
Every console or computer can play DVD's. Think of purchasing a physical DVD from this guy like a patron payment with physical media.
Regardless, online media is not forever. Physical copies can be played anywhere without Internet.
I am going to get this DVD soon
Fantastic!!
"..a fondness for Oakland.." Never heard that one before!
