Kids zig-zagging, grownups, cars, horse-drawn wagons, everything going every which way. It's amazing more people weren't injured, but I guess people learned the right moves; magically the path is always clear just in time before the cable-car passes. It's like a giant ballet.
Well, I don’t think the car is going very fast. Apparently it was not a secret that they were going to make a moving picture from the car, and this was these folk’s chance to be immortalized in film. I bet they got a HUGE kick out of seeing it afterward. I remember my grandparents still called them moving pictures.
