San Francisco Muni streetcar 1079 turning onto Noe Street in the Castro. Car 1079 is painted in the color scheme used by Detroit, Michigan for this type of streetcar.

Streetcar 1079 was built in 1946 and originally operated in Minneapolis. Now in #sanfrancisco it wears the tribute livery of Detroit. In the background is the Southern Pacific Building (built 1927) and the Hyatt Regency (built 1973). And of course Justin Herman Plaza (which opened in 1972 and could possibly be renamed after Maya Angelou.) I love how multiple eras mesh in The City by the Bay! #ourcity #embarcadero #fmarketandwharves #streetcar #streetphotography #photographercurley #urbanphotographer #nikonshooter
