John Martini presents "Playland At The Beach: San Francisco's Vanished Seaside Pleasure Ground". A nostalgic -- and melancholy -- look at San Francisco's vanished amusement park at Ocean Beach. This popular talk traces Playland's evolution from a rough-and-tumble neighborhood of bars and shooting galleries in the 1890s, up through its 'golden era' during the 1940s and '50s under the Whitney Brothers, and then its eventual demise and demolition in 1972. Includes many then-and-now views of the former Playland site."
