Zacks On Market. Open bins. Market Street, real army surplus. Outfitted at age 5 with WW2 steel helmet, cartridge belt, M1 rifle (no firing pin), musette bag, leggings. We could play war all day on the sandlots that covered the Sunset District. Crystal Palace Market and it was so magical that I can’t describe it today. Second run theaters showing flying saucer movies and cartoons.Street cars With conductors mid car punching your youth cards at a nickel a ride. Finally the Emporium with roof rides during Christmas season. A great town to grow up in. Now nobody but rich dilettante techies can afford it and crime rages.

And Oakland still sucks Marty!
