Ever wonder what San Francisco was like before the freeways? Flickr user Octoferret has scanned in a 1938 street map that shows how the Mission District, Hayes Valley and South of Market looked before a single house was torn down for the freeways. If you’re a map geek or long for Sam Spade-era SF, this is fascinating.

If only we could restore San Francisco to its pre-freeway state!
Well, at least we got rid of that f*&%$#%! Embarcardero Freeway.
I was just talking to my Mom about driving around before freeways up and down the peninsula, and she said, “You have to understand, it was stop and go streetlights, and then it was trees and orchards. “

Here’s another map from 1929. Pre-freeway, pre-Bay Bridge, pre-Golden Gate bridge!

sweet, another copied post from sfist. mark, do you ever wonder if you are the reason writers keep walking away from this site and you are down to 6 contributors? please, mark — turn down the suck!!
while the sfist post did point to the same flickr stream, its focus was murray the mascot.
when covering the same geographic locale, there are bound to be overlapping stories. even with the occasional repeat, i prefer to subscribe to both sites.
if it really bothers you, just stop reading this site.
