SF Transbay Terminal Site Visit and photolink - 12/27/2011 10:41:41 PM    Dabeel Posts: 849 Joined: 3/12/2004 From: Baltimore origin, Now the Bay Area,CA Status: offline Hey Everyone, I made some time this afternoon to visit the San Francisco Transbay Terminal site where the Archaelogical firm of WSA had uncovered and made a nice display of the recently found artifacts. Here's a link to the photos I took at the lobby display and even through the fence of one of the dig sites today. See photo 8 and 9 in the link. This is most likely WSA researchers looking for substructures(privies and historically significant finds) As much as I rather be on the site looking for bottles than them, I must say that WSA put a good deal of time into the display...I enjoyed it. Here's the link to the photos I took today. http://www.flickr.com/photos/7153813@N07/sets/72157628599190691/ Oh and the good news is that I'll be a part of the site work very soon as both Caltrans and my parent company have a role in the future work! Thanks, Doug Post #: 1

In most cities you would have to wait a long time before a building comes down, but in San Francisco each year several buildings are torn down to make way for a newer better one. Glad you liked the history, Doug (in reply to cobaltbot) Post #: 5
