A view of Pacific Ave N from Locust St, likely sometime between 1935 and 1939. Nowadays, the Sock Shop is right there on the corner. If you stand there and line up the tower near Zoccoli's, you'll enjoy the same view through a modern lens!

This is the plaza at Watsonville, complete with a look at their bandstand. This photo was taken within twenty years of the bandstand being built, as for that duration it was made of wood. It was rebuilt in 1906 and still stands today. How different does it look now?

This photo, taken June 11, 1923, shows us Curtiss JN4D2 or "Jennie", a WWI training plane, near San Vicente. Santa Cruz didn't have a major military base during the war, but it was involved in a number of different wartime efforts. Perhaps this was one of them!
