More Modesto …
Here is another photograph in downtown Modesto California … this one is looking from the opposite direction as the photo in the previous post. I cannot get over all of the hits that I have had to this site from the previous photo that I posted of downtown Modesto in the 1950’s. I even had a nice comment from a girl explaining what was in the previous photograph. I have run across several images from this trip that my dad made in California from this trip that I will work up and post later. As usual, thanks for looking and all comments are welcome …
Modesto, CA in the 1950’s …
This image is one of downtown Modesto, CA in the 1950’s that my father made on one of his trips out west to visit his sister. I know nothing about Modesto and have never been there myself, so I do not have any information about this photograph. Modesto looked to be a fairly thriving town during this era … WW II having been over for ten years or so and all the soldiers returning home looking to start families and buying homes. This being California, I am sure that there must have been defense contractors in this area that added to the local economy … maybe even a military base or two, they seem to be all over California. Anyone that has anything to offer about Modesto, please feel free to post … this image is one that I had posted on the old site also. Thanks for looking …
