Happy 100th Birthday to the Great San Francisco Earthquake
 

April 18 marks the 100th anniversary of the San Francisco earthquake. It along with the devestating fire that succeeded it whiped out a large portion of The City.

Yeah, I know I am an hour-and-a-half early...

It's also my wife's birthday, how cool!

Tell her I said happy birthday. And to not get all shook up about her age.

I'm sorry: I'm tired and that was the best I could come up with.

May you enjoy her fault line on her birthday.

I think we all should eat some Jello in celebration

What is it with you guys and Jell-o lately?

It 's yummy with that special concoction.

Oh dear, is there a patern I wasn't aware of? Perhaps it is time I made that appointment with a mental health professional...

I hate jello!!

The earth shook, the sky burned.
Here are some historic photos of the event. Check the link on the botom of the page for footage at the LOC.

No shopping in Union Square, just look at Geary and Stockton!

The Faimount looks so much better without the tower!

This is just down the street from my first apartment on Bush St. I would always stop by and give the old guy a nod as I walked to work in the mornings.

Here's to the Grand City of San Francisco, risen from the ashes, there is no place quite like it.
