A Reprise from the Interwar Period

This one still looks kinda the same, it would seem: EDIT (update). thanks to reader who goes by the moniker ‘Candy Farnsworth’ (which might be your true name), I learned that the above postcard shows Old Sacramento’s ‘2nd [Street] between J and I’; I’ve highlighted the distinctive shape of the building shown in red (above) with a red arrow (below). Thank you, Candy!
One last segment to go!
In the late 1980’s, my parents were “retired” and taking local (central valley) produce and nuts to the Farmer’s Market in San Francisco a couple of days a week. On October 17, 1989, they stayed home to watch grandkids (mine and the nephew I babysat), and the Oakland Bay Bridge fell because of the earthquake. My dad never drove over that bridge again, and they switched to the local Farmer’s Market. Not as much money, but no bridges Lol
Brought back memories of my visit to SF back in the early 80’s with my parents. We hired a Cadillac Fleetwood and I had the ‘pleasure’ of driving it down Lombard Street (twisty road) and it is a lot steeper than it looks in that picture. Thanks to idiots like me I believe the road is no longer open to traffic.
