The main interesection of old Ocean View, where once a civic fountain stood, is shown here in 1926 as plans to build Alemany Boulevard are documented. "Blue Ribbon" ice cream, Pellegrini's Bayview Bazaar, a meat market, and a couple of barber shops are in the scene.
In 2003, Sagamore is much widened and a main thoroughfare for those leaving Highway 280 headed for San Francisco State, 19th Avenue, and Lake Merced.
