    I love these.

    California must have been fun in the 60s.

    Very cool.
    As someone who’s gotten into arguments with folks about University City’s timeline it’s great to have photo proof that Genesee did NOT connect in 1964. And it’s great to see my street as it was when first built in 1964.
