This is a great scene. It's 1938. My mom and dad were as yet unmarried. My dad may have been back in Denver courting my mom. It would be 3 more years before the U.S.'s involvement in the war would begin. And a couple more years after that before Charlen was born and my dad drafted into the Marines and served on Marshall Islands in the Pacific. I love this scene of San Gabriel, for that is where my dad lived and his family lived. And I'd always wondered what his days looked like. Now I know. In case the photo does not show up below, click this link.
The car in this photo is driving westbound on Valley Blvd. about to go through the intersection at San Gabriel Blvd. That building you see at the left, on the southwest corner, is still there despite it having gone through about a dozen renovations.
