The building just to the left of the "A" was formerly Mr. Ed’s.

I am going to try posting some pix I have from a 1970 Vallejo High Yearbook. Thanks to Tahoe for helping me! the first 3 are from the 1969 Homecoming.

Here are some Vallejo images from postcards I bought on eBay. These may be old news to older zodiac case people.

The second image (the card with two pix of Vallejo streets) pix were most likely taken in 1954, since the movie theater was showing "Rogue Cop," a 1954 movie. The top image on that card is Georgia street looking East, while the bottom image is Tennessee Street looking East.

The third image is Georgia St looking West toward the Marina Vista Development Project and Mare Island Straits.

A couple more. Thanks Tahoe for making all these links for me.

The Travel Lodge card is postmarked Aug. 13, 1957. The reason there is an ink "X" on the far left top right is because the send put it there to let the card’s recipient know which room the send and her family stayed in.

This is the Terry’s where Darlene worked. The back of the card reads:

Terry’s Waffle Shop and Cocktail Lounge, located in historic Solano County, between San Francisco and Sacramento on new Highway 40 Freeway.
Open 24 hours a day, featuring breakfast, lunch and dinner. Specializing in "Chicken in the Ruff."

Drawing of the El Curtola Motel. You can see Terry’s. The back of this postcard reads:

El Curtola Motel U.S. and 40 (1 mile No. of Carquinez Bridge) VALLEJO, CAL> Phone: 2-3911

A lovely, picturesque 23 unit motel with tile showers or tubs. Radios. Panel ray heat. Dining Room. Coffee Shop. Cocktail Lounge Adjoining.

Here are a couple of aerial views of Vallejo.

This first one is a 1950’s view, I believe, while the second is a 1960’s view.

And here is a postcard of the Martinez Bridge. The card was postmarked September "An aerial view of the modern 29, 1976 and on
the back of the card it says "An aerial view of the modern Martinez-Benicia highway bridge. The arches of the older railroad bridge,
which is still in use, shows behind it. Mt. Diablo is in the background."

Vallejo City Hall. I am guessing it’s the 1940’s?

Best Bakery In Vallejo. Yep around in the Z Days, if the Z had a sweet tooth. They were known for their Fruit Basket Cake Next door … get your Green Stamps….

Zam,

It was the Champagne Cake……best cake ever. It was the favorite for our family birthday celebrations. I have never had anything like it anywhere else, and I have eaten a lot of cake!

Marin St. and Georgia. Shows Crowleys Dept Store & Levee’s Dept Store.

Is that Darlene Ferrin’s corvair in the middle of the street?

@ Scared Kid, yeah trying to make out the make of that car!
And yes "Home Bakery" was the best ever! Their champagne cake & fruit basket cake were to kill for.
