One of my favorite films, and so much of San Francisco has changed since then.<br /><br />I don't know the variety of that tree, I think it is a variety of ornamental ficus related to the popular house plant. It is a popular street tree in California. <br /><br />They are all over San Francisco now; downtown San Luis Obispo is lined with enormous ancient ones; and San Vicente Blvd in Santa Monica has a double row in the central median.<br /><br />Thank you, Dave.<br /><br />JGJGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15456196709930408585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-7715418162830413812013-12-15T17:48:57.597-08:002013-12-15T17:48:57.597-08:00I like how that little tree has made it into the 2...I like how that little tree has made it into the 21st century and grown through the years.K.

I was so excited when I found it, so I totally understand getting giddy about that!<br /><br />I adore missions in general, but of course Mission Dolores is extra special for its role in Vertigo.<br /><br />-JaneyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-48498106668797316432013-12-15T13:50:03.757-08:002013-12-15T13:50:03.757-08:00The first photo is older than the movie - the brow...The first photo is older than the movie - the brown car is from the 30's - the bus and black car look to be 40's. Also the sidewalks changed from the 40's to the ones seen in the movie (and many times over since - they get raised often because that area sits right on a the main fault of the San Andres - the streets over there have a lot of movement cracking in them). It's a rich area for missions - we live not too far from here today over at the coast just north of Big Sur and a tad south of Carmel. beachgalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17145677285299398734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-5581808566407479822013-12-15T13:45:19.579-08:002013-12-15T13:45:19.579-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.beachgalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17145677285299398734noreply@blogger.com
