THIS
ROZELLE AERIAL had me baffled until I saw the
date on the back -- July 29, 1956. There were
a handful of other shots in the pile with the
same date -- and I figured out where THEY were
taken. I'll let you scroll down and have your
own "Eureka" moment. Keep your eye on the high
school track in the upper left hand corner.
That's
Euclid and Federal, the Rancho Drive-in, and
the Lincoln High School track. On one of the
photos, you can see the twin towers of KFSD
(now KOGO), AM 600. I believe they are still
there, just south of Highway 94 --

Guessed it was the Rancho. Got to the fourth
photo and there was my house! It was a nice
moment for an old Oak Parkie who learned to
ride a bike on those streets -- and right
about that time too! -- Jeff
Lee '66
Ah Ha! My old neighborhood around El Rancho
Theatre. I lived way up Grape St, which is
pictured on several of the new photos. I
remember the Fedco store coming in and
played in the large vacant lot for about two
years while that area was being developed
and the freeway was being built -- Jim
Smith '61
