As a SF local, I'm sure many of you have watched movies and saw "mistakes" or inconsistencies. Like "The Graduate" driving on the upper deck while the story says he is driving to Berkeley.

So here I have a challenge for you -- and maybe you want to add your comments or new challenges.
For example how do you tell if this is a North- or Southbound shot of the GGB

When you come to San Francisco
To be honest -- it is a North-bound shot.

Do you see the clues ??

Yes that's one of several differences. Not the most obvious.
And as commenters noted, the lamp on the northern side area square -- not round.

But it took a while until someone found the most obvious difference ...

Sometimes, Mr. Toast, it's much harder to see what's not there.
