The idea was to take a huge lot filled with vacant homes, tear the old stuff down, and […]
The year 1938 was a doozie for the state of California. Cheeseburgers were considered a fad, something to disappear soon. In one county, a woman was arrested for wearing slacks to a court hearing. And, of course, there was the Great Depression going on. Updated 2/10/2020 – In the growing city of Davis, CA – […]

Tree-lined streets sport manicured lawns beneath a sky so blue it is almost painful – this is the sort of image Arcadia conjures up.
