brick work totally different quality....... the "sandstone" with the black on it imo looks like it is the newer construction.....poor quality material causes black discoloration I think

Local basilica......weird steps up to the main door..... open the main door on to more steps you don't actually enter the building on a floor ..... but into sta8rs I saw this on 4 or 5 other buildings in edmonton too

this was buried, had to be uncovered to reveal J

There is a lot of photo scrubbing and photo manipulation going on this photo. Wonder what they were trying to hide?

In 1846, just 3 years before the gold rush, the population of San Francisco (then known as Yerba Buena) was a mere 50 people. We are expected to believe that 50 years later San Francisco was as sprawling as depicted in this 1906 picture? That is a great deal of immigration despite the influx of gold miners, who by all accounts, did not make it rich in gold and could not have constructed all these buildings. This is a massive and sprawling city capable of of housing 100's of 1000's of people. It seems like the timeline is fiercely inaccurate. I grew up north of here and it looks much the same for the past 100 years.
