They were part of a set of six taken in the months after the earthquake and show some of the ruins along Market Street and scenes taken from the roof of the Hotel Majestic, on Sutter Street near Gough Street.

The Hotel Majestic still exists, and is a lovely little boutique hotel.  I stayed there in '05.   :)

Just before the quake?
:lol:  Would've been a lot better if it was grumbler instead of Beeb, though.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Would it  kill you to be positive for once?
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

We'll never find out, I'm afraid.

To be fair, Garbon has a point.  Ruins are ruins, whether you take pictures of them in color or b&w.

Whenever Timmy shake off a thread on the latest Japan earthquake, can we use the same puns? :unsure:



Edit: Oh shit, an 8.9 could be a nasty one, maybe I won't joke about it. :(
