After the Exposition, a flashy, dynamic new city takes shape, moving at a frenetic pace. Two amazing bridges, an all-new island, the airport and Hetch Hetchy. Streetcars and high rise buildings. Conquering the hills and creating new districts. Prohibition -- in San Francisco, a law that failed to prohibit. Colorful often naughty personalities -- Mayor Jimmy Rolph, Michael O'Shaughnessy, Fatty Arbuckle and Sally Stanford. And more! Motion picture palaces, transpacific aviation, another exposition. San Francisco goes to war. An exciting narrative, not to be missed.
