Alpo Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 I've been watching the first season of Ironside. I noticed that in 1967 the city of San Francisco had no stop signs and no traffic lights. You come up to the corner and you turn. Doesn't matter if it's a cross street or not. No one even slows down. But no one ever hits another car either. Kinda amazing when you think about it.

Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Hell, when I lived/worked there ya couldn't even turn left! Sometimes you'd have to drive a mile and a half to go fifty feet. But where'd ya find Ironside?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixgun Sheridan Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 That darn Volkswagen he passes half a dozen times. There's a VW Beetle that I often encounter on the way to work. The woman driving it drives so slow that I'm always having to pass her. One day I swore I passed her twice in one commute and immediately thought of the Beetle in Bullitt. How she got past me at some point I don't know, but it might be the nature of VW Bugs that they're so slow you end up passing them more than once. Some sort of creepy space/time continuum thing, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
