Tenderloin Museum teams up with intrepid Bay Area community historians Shaping SF (and our friends at SF Neon and Safe Streets Rebel) to consider “Carmageddon” in San Francisco, highlighting notable overtures that took place in or adjacent to the TL!

From Shaping SF: A look back at the rise of the Automobile on the streets of San Francisco from the 1920s onward… civil resistance on Auto Row in the 1960s, Tesla Takedown this year… the protests of Uber and Lyft drivers and before that the role of cabbies in converting to electric vehicles. And now the streets are full of robo-cars… what does EV saturation mean for daily street life in SF? And public transportation?
