Watching Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home and marveling at how I can recognize almost all of San Francisco in the movie.
I don’t think I can recognize urban locations in Singapore after 5 or even 10 years, because everything changes there. All the time.
I used to say sometimes I’d leave for a month and return and the road in the neighborhood is completely gone, like it was never there.
But in watching Star Trek, some of the places look exactly the same
@skinnylatte watching video of SF from the 1950s makes me a little sick to my stomach. Cities shouldn’t be locked in amber but we’re so terrified of change.
Even 1906 before the quake is recognizable: https://youtu.be/sHkc83XA2dY?si=DRmRIYpMAOoHsCBn
@djcapelis yeah it’s scary and weird. Some call it charming I guess.
