LEMON GROVE. Did I win???
-- Bobby Biehler 61
Just a guess, but it looks like Broadway
and Lemon Grove Ave in the center of the
picture, looking north, before Highway 94
was put in – Gary Morris ‘61
The Rozelle Photo was quite difficult for
me. In desperation, I used a photo editor
to zoom in, and then I saw the railroad
tracks up the middle. That narrowed my
search, and I soon found a match at
Broadway and Lemon Grove Ave in Lemon
Grove. I first thought the railroad tracks
were a road, so I kept searching for a
street with those curves. The tracks were
first a decoy, then a clue. The big
complex in the lower right is Lemon Grove
Junior High, and there is an elementary
school north of it. My 1973 San Diego map
says that Lemon Grove Ave was actually
Imperial Avenue back then -- Mike
Fry '60
It’s Lemon Grove, clear as
ever. Broadway cutting across and the old
Mayfair market on the left. Where’s the
old drive-in that was off to the right,
which used to have those crazy “Rama”
nights? Was this taken before that was
built? Nothing but “C” movies or less, but
always fun. Also, no signs of Route 94 and
the old “Lemon” statute that use to be at
the corner of Broadway and Main Street is
not visible -- Earl Feldman ‘61
