So the Super Bowl is actually being hosted down the road in Santa Clara, but San Francisco has been Super Bowl City all week. Luckily a feature by The Guardian offers a chance to compare The City's history with its present.
"The gold rush, the earthquakes, the civil rights movement, the Summer of Love, the rise of Silicon Valley. In the week leading up to Super Bowl 50, Guardian photographer David Levene travelled across the San Francisco Bay Area photographing the sites that transformed one of the great cities of the world."
The really amazing photo series offers the chance to wipe the historic image to slowly morph into the present. Click through to celebrate The City.
