Local historian David Enos just unearthed this blurry but evocative photograph of the scene on Market Street in the late ’90s. Don’t you wanna just dive in and swim around in it?

This is a still (and quote) from a short film by our pal Xtina.

(Which reminds me… it’s no red-and-gold-roller-disco-getup, but Amos Goldbaum’s commemorative Candlestick shirts and hoodies might make a great last minute gift idea. He’ll be setting up shop at 19th and Valencia today.)
