Here's a video clip from the early 1990s showing kids watching TV and hanging out at the Larkin Street Youth Center in San Francisco.
The clip begins with a window sign that reads: “LARKIN STREET YOUTH CENTER, support for homeless kids, MEDICAL CLINIC, AFTER - CARE.”
From the second floor inside the Youth Center, we see kids on the first floor. Several kids are playing pool, several are hugging each other, and others are waiting or relaxing.
A couple lying on a sofa watches a cartoon on a large TV in a living room. A close-up of the TV screen shows an animated moon with a face, which just ate a person. Another character uses a ladder to climb up to the moon’s face and then scales it, perhaps to free the person from the moon's mouth.
Other shots show the same couple watching other cartoons, including a cartoon where people are sliding down the railing of a large staircase. None of the TV watchers' faces are shown -- only the back of their heads or the sides of their faces. One TV-watcher wears dark shades.
There’s a close-up of a person’s hand resting on the back of a sofa. The hand wears three silver rings: one ring displays the German Cross, another ring has a skull wearing a helmet, and a third ring appears to have the head of a person with a mohawk.
Another TV-watcher is lying on the sofa while resting his right arm on the top-rear of his head and grabbing his left wrist with his right hand.
At the end of the clip, we see part of an MTV music video for Roxette’s “It Must Have Been Love"; the song is on the original motion picture soundtrack for the feature film Pretty Woman with Julia Roberts and Richard Gere.
