Sunday In The City.
Today, a trip to the Musee Mechanique. These ancient coin-operated
musical instruments and antique arcade machines used to live at the
Cliff House, but now are housed in a old wharf warehouse. Poor old things.

Palm of her hand.
Rock 'em, sock 'em.
Seeking fame and fortune.
Sitting pretty.
Pay per view.
Photos and a booth.
Careful, sailor.

Thanks girl! Oh yes I did! :)
i love, love, love all of these old machines. except for the one with the sailor--for some reason he scares the bejeeeeeebus out of me!
Wow...thank you for the trip down memory lane. My grandparents, who lived in the Sunset District, often took me out to Ocean Beach and the Cliff House when I visited. The arcade was always a highlight (even though it sort of creeped me out a bit as a child)...such nostalgia. Thank you!!!
P.S. I had no idea musee mecanique existed...I can't wait to go on our next SF visit
I love this place!
Before I graduated I interviewed the owner (a real sweet guy who inherited the machines from his father who WON his first machine and subsequently purchased the rest with the pennies deposited.
I think the multimedia piece is archived here...
