Above: This view is looking west on Fulton Street toward Ocean Beach at La Playa Street (once called 49th Avenue) on Jan. 10, 1913. Many of the old “Then and Now” photos show the west side crisscrossed with streetcar lines. All the working rail lines are gone from the Richmond District.

Below: Electric power lines above the road now power the 5-Fulton bus with a terminus at La Playa and Cabrillo streets. To the right of the photograph is the Safeway supermarket. Photo by Michael Durand.
