You can see the post office boxes on the right. That was the El Toro Post Office in its entirety. This was the last chance for gas before heading out into the canyons. They even sold Levis, socks, dungarees, work boots and overalls. Everything for the well-dressed citrus farmer.

ETR was two lanes back then. I remember this as if it were yesterday.

You can see the homes of the Seville tract crawling up the hill to the left of the Trabuco extension, which then intersects with one of the nascent fragments of Los Alisos Blvd.

The war was a trying time for his family back home because of his grandparents' German heritage. They were often accused of being unpatriotic. In addition, he married a Jewish girl named Nettie Needles in California while on shore leave. He achieved the rank of Petty Officer Second Class before he was discharged."

"In 1962, Blassie had a feud with Japanese wrestling icon Rikidozan that established his reputation in Japan. After Blassie lost the WWA World Heavyweight Championship to Rikidozan in Los Angeles, the two had a rematch on live Japanese television. Many of the viewers were horrified by Blassie's treatment of their hero. One of Blassie's gimmicks was to file his teeth, and draw blood from his opponents by biting their foreheads. The sight of the Japanese legend covered in his own blood gave several viewers heart attacks, and some reportedly even died."

That's the year my Dad and/or Grandfather started taking me down to the end of the pier to fish. The charter boats used to tie up there and load up for their fishing trips. They were named the Sum Fun and the Reel Fun. I'll never forget how good their diesel smoke mixed with the fishy smell of seawater used to smell. There was an old blind man there every weekend who could tell what fish you caught by feeling it with his hands.

See that ridge in the background? Surprise, surprise... it doesn't look like that anymore. Instead of Mouse Barley, Wild Oats, White Sage and Wooley Blue Curls, it now sprouts houses, asphalt and exotic vegetation.

My friends and I also used to sneak into the bushes that bordered it, go though the fence, snitch a back row speaker or two, and listen and watch the movies.

It also had a small zoo with a limited amount of animals which we loved as kids, as well as the obligatory snack bar.

It was pretty much defunct by the time the Montclair Plaza came into existence in 1968.

There was a White Front Department Store in Ontario at the time, too, that looked just like the one pictured - it was located between Sixth Street and Fifth Street on Mountain Blvd., as I recall. Died there around the same time as the Plaza went up in Montclair, if not a little before.

I tried to find a pic of the old ABC Union Marts, but no luck...oh, well.

This is the system that made up Santa Ana River Powerhouse #1 (SAR-1) that was fed by Bear Creek and ran from Big Bear down to the East Highlands/Mentone area. SAR-1 is one of the 3 powerhouses that make up SCE's SAR complex. All of these photos and captions are courtesy of Historic American Buildings Survey/Historic American Engineering Record via Library of Congress. Unless otherwise noted, they were shot in 1991 as part of the effort to document the area prior to construction of the Seven Oaks Dam.

They are arranged in order (as best I can tell) beginning at the top and heading downstream. One of my all-time favorite days was the day my wife and I spent exploring this segment of SAR back around 1987 or 88. I'd worked 30 or 40 days straight, woke up one day, looked out the window and was greeted by one of the nicest spring mornings you'll ever see and came down with a terminal case of spring fever. I headed into work, told them I was gonna take the day off, pulled a nice little Jeep CJ5 from the inventory, went home, grabbed the wife, went for a drive with no destination in mind. We headed up the 330 and, just by chance, pulled off onto a dirt road in the Fredalba area and this was where we wound up. We saw the system ranging from the dam in the 1st pic down as far as the entry portal at the 4th flume.

There were so many of them, they were considered a major nuisance and most of them were capped. many of the capped artesian wells were never mapped and that created major problems when the south end of the city saw a building boom in the 70s and 80s. One I remember in particular was the post office on E St below Orange Show Rd. The building was one of the first projects in the area and constantly had a few feet of water in the basement despite pumps that ran 24/7.

San Bernardino's artesian wells were the source of water that supplied the Gage Canal which made citrus farming possible in Riverside.

Is anyone else interested in old waterworks? I've got a bunch of pics of the Gage Canal and also the Bear Creek system that delivered water from Big Bear to Redlands. Bear Creek was quite the undertaking with lots of small dams and tunnels. It was also a neat spot to explore and enjoy the many pools and flumes. I'll post a few if anyone is interested.

This is an old Magic Lantern glass transparency from the Eastman Museum

I'm pretty sure this is a shot of the old park and lake that used to be south of the Inland Center Mall.

Although the address is listed as 14804 Summit Ave, the streets were realigned several years ago and the ranch entrance was near what is now Wilson St, jusr west of I-15. All of these shots are from Library of Congress' Historic American Buildings Survey. The pics are undated, but this is what the area looked like when we went pheasant hunting up there in the late 60s/early 70s.

edit: I flubbed the address on the caption of the 1st pic. It should be 14804 Summit Ave.

Thomas Bros is on the corner of Vineyard and Foothill...The damage was caused when the giant wine barrels were pushed out the from of the building and ended up on Arrow highway

The second picture down is looking from Redhill east on Foothill...As you can see it was real sparse back then...Just me and about 200 relatives and 3400 others in the entire Etiwanda, Alta Loma Cucamonga Area.

The Bloomington Garage was built at the intersection of Cedar St and Valley Blvd in 1912 and was there until it was moved to another location 4-5 years ago. It was an amazing shop that included a blacksmith's outfit and a full pre-WWI automotive machine shop with all of the equipment powered via overhead belts andjackshafts that ran off an old Model T engine mounted out back behind the shop. He fixed everything there, from pouring babbet bearings to repairing home radios.

Why? Before the meth labs, it was just dirt. Now, it's just dirt & meth labs.

Actually, there wasn't that much dirt. It was mostly groves, vineyards, truck farms and the meth labs that have always been here. The first meth lab I saw was in the middle of a Bloomington grapefruit grove back around late '69 or early '70. It was ran by a couple of enterprising 16 year olds who were supplementing their income by converting Vicks inhalers into peanut butter crank that they then sold in some of Fontana's shadier bars and liquor store parking lots.

The large white building at the top of Del Mar on El Camino Real is the former BofA branch/music shop/restaurant/whatever it is now. It was one of the first buildings to be built in town back in the 1920s. The lack of homes on the hills combined with the fresh scars of grading date this photo as approx 1958-59, the time span they punched the last section of I-5 through to the OC/SD County line.

See that white 1953 Ford pickup with the red rims parked in front of the hardware store? That's old Sanchez's truck, and by 1969 it will have a blown engine and will be up on blocks in his yard. My Grandfather will buy it off him for 50 bucks and give it to me with the order "figure out how to fix it and it's yours." We got it running and it became my main machine by the time I was eligible to (legally) drive in 1971.

Pic 2 is looking NB on El Camino Real from Avenida Victoria.
Look at those pretty street lights. I don't remember them. Now they have ugly municipal looking ones with that sickly salmon colored light. Most all those buildings are still standing.

Pic 3 is the opposite view of 2, looking SB on ECR from Avenida Cabrillo. Take note of the big diesel truck and the Trailways bus. They're there because you're looking at the main road between L.A. and San Diego. The freeway wasn't finished yet. Imagine today's volume of traffic on a 4 lane undivided highway with traffic lights and stop signs.

As young kids, we used to play in the tidepools down in the bottom of the pic. As I got older I'd snorkel dive out further and get my limit of abalone off the rocks.

Pic 2 is downtown San Juan Capistrano in the late fifties. From the top you see Honeyman's orange groves going from center to right. The long line of narrow metal buildings towards the lower part of the groves are the packing sheds and Cole's Egg Ranch, where we'd buy all our fresh eggs. In the center is the Mission complex. North of that are the residential areas of Mission Flats (off El Horno St) and Mission Hill just above the Flats.

Just below the Flats you can see the oval track of Capo Union High School's athletic field. (YAY COUGARS!) The HS complex itself is to the right of the aforementioned residential areas. The large blocky profile of the Williams Gym is visible in the south portion of the complex. That's where I attended my first ever dance, a sock hop, back when I was in 7th grade. The Capistrano Branch of the ORCO Library now sits where the gym stood. I'll never forget how much trouble they had knocking that venerable old building down. They finally had to bring it down with dynamite. And they were afraid it would fall in an earthquake.

To the left of center sits the red brick Capistrano Hotel. It was razed in the early sixties. Oddly enough, many of the buildings in this photograph still exist.

Pic 3 is looking north up the valley in the early sixties. Notice how I-5 consists of a mere 2 lanes in each direction. The road to the left of the freeway is old 101, now known as Camino Capistrano. The beginning of the curve in the freeway (just out of sight to the right bottom of ther pic) is now known as the Las Ramblas curve, where the offramp for PCH and Dana Point takes off.

The hill and groves with the eucalyptus and houses in the left foreground, what we called Rosan's Hill, has been completely shaved down and now sprouts some auto dealers. To the left of the hill is a faint green smudge with some asphalt below it. That's the NE portion of the old Capistrano Airport, a small grass strip general aviation facility. It roughly paralleled the flood control channel of San Juan Creek, visible here as a white stripe going left to right. That's the genesis for the street that now bisects that area, Avenida Aeropuerto. There used to be air shows there in the summer, complete with vintage fighters from both wars.

Intersection of Third and Hill. The tunnel is the Third Street tunnel under Bunker Hill. The first pic shows what it looked like in the early 50's before it was dismantled for the Bunker Hill Urban Renewal Project, which also razed almost every building in the picture.

The second pic is the exact same view back in 1898, before Downtown had grown big enough to gobble up what was then a well-to-do residential area.

The third pic shows what it looks like after being taken out of storage and rebuilt in 1996.

I vividly recall taking the Angels Flight ride with my Grandfather back in the late 50's.

Over at 208 N. Broadway, a double cable car facility named Court Flight also ascended Bunker Hill, ending up at the top of Hill Street at an observation tower. For 5 cents one could "Take this car for the highest point in this city from which the finest view of the city, mountains, and the islands of the ocean can be had."

Court Flight was abandoned in 1944. Bunker Hill was graded down in the early sixties. A tree lined mall today connects Broadway and Hill. 208 N. Broadway is now occupied by the Music Center and the Dorothy Chandler.

EDIT: I added two more views of Angels Flight to show the rapid change that hit that part of town around the turn of the century. The 1903 shot is a world of difference from the one taken in 1898. The quiet, tree lined residential street with its stately Victorian homes and what appears to be a neighborhood church have given way to no nonsense masonry low rise commercial buildings. Only one home from 1898 remains, the turreted manse in the upper left. A tunnel now penetrates the hill under what had been a steeply inclined street.

By 1910 the transformation was complete. No trace of what had been a sleepy neighborhood a mere 12 years ago remains. Downtown has arrived.

Notice the "Vegetarian Cafeteria" in the 1910 shot. I guess we do have an earned reputation for that kind of stuff.
