What a great picture. Reminds me of the days I grew up. I sure miss the mid '70's. Your brother reminds me of just how my older brother looked back then. Do you have any others from this time period?

Re: Old Street Scenes

This photo appeared in the local newspaper in 1952 when he, along with a group of other rodders, wanted to build a drag strip so they would have a safe and legal place to race. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

The street you see in the background is Gratiot Avenue in Roseville, Michigan.

Greg, I looked for some but I did not see any yet. I will try to find more.

Here are some from back in 1975 with my parents. They were on vacation. I remember that my dad REALLY liked the Dune Buggy!

That picture had to be taken from either Katella Ave or Ball Rd...and I am guessing that it's Katella Ave! My old stomping grounds...

Cool picture!

Here are a few more:

Re: Old Street Scenes

Not a whole lot of building going on in the area in 1955...Katella (named after Kate and Ella...really) is at the very bottom of the picture and Identifed as such in the lower right...and the main entrance to Disneyland would be on Harbor...a quarter of the way up on the right hand side of the picture where the pavement 'island' can be seen.

I lived about 1 mile above and left of the top of the upper left of the picture!
The 5 fwy can be seen in the upper right.

The Great Highway where it curves at the Cliff House in San Francisco. In the background, along the highway, can be seen Playland at the Beach, a wonderful old amusement park that dated back to the 1920s. I had a birthday trip there in 1970, my 8th birthday, and we had a ball. Playland had a long wooden burlap-sack slide in the Fun House that was about four stories tall. You'd roar down that thing and unless you made an effort to stop at the bottom you'd crash into the padded stop-wall. Also a large spinning disc, about 25 feet across, that only the one kid in the dead-center would stay on once it spun-up. Air jets in the floor that the guy up high in one corner of the Fun House operated and he'd blast the girls when they walked over one of the jets. Playland was one of those great old FUN places that really no longer exist. It smelled old: mildew, second-hand smoke, greasy cooking smell, cotton candy smell, caramel popcorn smell, graphite from the bumper-cars, etc. Playland was razed in 1972 to make way for ocean-front condos and a Safeway.
