Reference is made to the below posting (which contains links to more such postings with old postcards):
Part 1 deals with the oldest postcards in my collection, and while I’m quite certain that they are pre-WW1, I think they date from after the 1906 earthquake.
Enjoy, if you will.
Arriving in California
San Francisco How It Was
Golden Gate Park
Stay tuned for the next instalment of California How it Once Was…
What a dream. Thank you.
Thank you. I love the glimpse into a simpler and safer world.
California was once a beautiful place. My dad used to tell me about the orange groves in southern california when he was a kid. And searching around town for pop bottles to return so he could buy a tamale from the wagon.
When I was a kid, we went to visit relatives in Los Angeles and one time we talked my mom into taking us to the beach. We came home with oil stuck to us from a spill. She was so mad (as she scrubbed us with turpentine Lol)
But all those places are still beautiful in my mind-the Southern California beaches and watching fireworks in the park, San Francisco wharves and cable cars, Monterey and Santa Cruz, the Big Trees and the Redwoods. Gone, but not forgotten
