The first photo is of my Dad in 1948, the second photo is of me Today. The location is my Grandparents neighborhood in Oakland California. Notice the flower pots above the garage door…….still in place after 66 years! Anyone else have time machine photos?
Let's see....garage door is different, tree on left is missing, bush on right is taller and blooming, car is different make,................kinda like one of those teasers you see in the newspaper, what is different! Great pics, it's always amazing to see how much places change or stay the same over the years.
Cool photo.. this is a photo of my wife as a child with her grandmothers '54 Ford "Ranch Wagon" And her now after we restored the car..almost 57 years later.HRP
New hand rail added on stairway, vertical blinds from horizontal blinds, electric meter is upgraded...... great taste in cars from both generations there. Good stuff Ron. Thanks for sharing it.
Nice photos Ron. Some more from Oakland in the '50s. The guy in both photos is the same. The house is down by Lake Merritt.
cool photos. A few years ago I went to Oakland to see the house where I lived when I was born. my grandparents lived across the street. I didn't get out of the car and take photos, I locked my doors and got the hell out of there.
