    In the 1958 White Front photo, someone had parked a brand new 1959 Chevy Bel Air in the lot.

    Nice find, Eddie. The MIL lived in Lakewood before she moved down to San Diego so we could take care of her. That very first picture looks like it was shot right on her street. Of course, it's a false color image. We all know the world was still monochromatic in those days.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Depended on the drugs you happened to on at the moment. Like LDS, the popular Mormon psychotropic.

    Love the pics. Too bad it still isn't like this.
