Oh yes !! On a rainy day you could literally walk across town ducking from one building to the next. In the late 60s even I was selling industrial chemicals calling on the corporate purchasing depts in downtown. I spent one day a week there, could have spent 2-3 days. Nothing now. I have a video-off the internet which shows downtown San Francisco in 1906 two days before the big quake ! Wagons, autos , street cars and people in the street looking like ants. Unbelievable and it would all change within days.
