18th and Mission Streets in San Francisco. Mid-Seventies. I forget where I found this shot -- I think it was on Javier's Royal Jokers CC page -- but it is just really fucking cool. When most people think about the glory days of lowriding, I don't think they automatically think SF's Mission neighborhood...usually it's East L.A. or the Southwest. Which is good and bad, I guess.
Bad because there's lots of good lo-lo history in this Latin neighborhood of SF. Good because it remains slightly hidden and a little more special that way. Maybe it needs to stay kinda underground...
