Take a nostalgic, scenic journey through the San Diego of days gone by. 226 vintage postcards show the city as it appeared decades, and even a century, ago. From crisp Marine formations at Fort Rosecrans to casual strolls through Balboa Park, you'll see San Diego's history unfold. Dozens of images celebrate San Diego's red-carpet welcome for the 1915 Panama-California International Exposition. Romantic views portray Casa de Estudillo, where novelist Helen Hunt Jackson's heroine Ramona captured the nation's heart. Dodge trolleys and horses on D Street, ogle the glorious U.S. Grant Hotel, explore famous beaches and resort areas, and take in the panorama from Mission Cliff when it was an idyllic garden. These wonderful images illustrate sites that lured so many people to San Diego in the early to mid twentieth century.

Greetings from San Diego
An engaging book of one page profiles and great photos of interesting Southern Californians over the years. Some of my favorites, Huell Howser, Gene Autry, Ray Bradbury, Walt Disney, Howard Hughes, Dorothy Chandler, Aimee Semple McPherson, Billy Wilder and Helen Hunt Jackson (of Ramona fame). This was timely, since just two weeks ago, I saw the outdoor play "Ramona" out in Hemet for the first time.
I found this book on a feature table at my library. (I think the table was about creative, accomplished people.) I have to say, I really admire my librarians (yes, we have that kind of relationship). They really love their craft and I appreciate their efforts to try to engage readers. If I didn't have a career I enjoy so much, I imagine myself as a librarian with a bun at the nape of my neck, a pencil behind one ear, and my reading glasses on a beaded chain.
