San Francisco Marks the 117th Anniversary of the Great Earthquake and Fire

Tuesday morning at 5 a.m. it was time once again to gather and place a wreath at Lotta's Fountain — at the intersection of Kearny, Geary, and Market streets — for the annual ritual to commemorate the moment the 1906 earthquake struck at 5:12 a.m., 117 years ago.
