Mid market in the 60's and 70's

Hard to know where to begin, but some images of Mid Market in the 60's are quite shocking compared to how far downhill it went in the 80's and 90's, and 2000's

Mid Market 1958

This is one of the better street scene photos of Mid market circa 1958 from the SFMTA

The building on the left is 901 Market and this is looking up Market towards 6th street, and the block where this was taken from was demolished when BART was built and is now Hallidie plaza at Powell and Market

Mid Market really was a thriving district in the 1950's - 60's, all the way up past 7th and 8th streets
