I watched and listened several times, swept up in it...and then, afterward, remembered something I'd nearly forgotten...<br /> <br /><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEKqK7HtkC4m9Kk-K5ak39mBwbU2A9ZBAj6QN43c3lrC94gaLi4BK8MYDtF9yRN7C1Cn9BpeBwrknQappVWCbJhfgLWjy1H5dCQqsK2Mpq70ag0kuQw4PWbnS-oY26dlCuZORVzLPNcbEG/s1600/900%252520Lombard%252520entry%255B1%255D%255B1%255D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="150" n4="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEKqK7HtkC4m9Kk-K5ak39mBwbU2A9ZBAj6QN43c3lrC94gaLi4BK8MYDtF9yRN7C1Cn9BpeBwrknQappVWCbJhfgLWjy1H5dCQqsK2Mpq70ag0kuQw4PWbnS-oY26dlCuZORVzLPNcbEG/s200/900%252520Lombard%252520entry%255B1%255D%255B1%255D.jpg" width="200" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">900 Lombard, San Francisco, today</td></tr></tbody></table>Just about a year ago a videographer friend and I toured and shot footage of San Francisco film locations. I later recorded a voice track and hoped to post the video online, but had problems uploading it. Naturally, we got footage of <strong>Vertigo </strong>sites (the film includes many locations in the city) and I also took some still photos of 900 Lombard St., "Scottie Ferguson's" apartment in North Beach. The building had changed so little in the 50+ years since the movie was made that I almost expected a vintage green Jaguar to pull up and an elegant, ethereal blonde to slide out...<br /><br /><br /><object height="385" width="480"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/_naJH44Lk3I?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/_naJH44Lk3I?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>
