Ironically, this Howard Rozelle aerial isn't really an aerial. It's shot from the south rim of Mission Valley around 1965. I recognize the theater at the right, but can't quite recall what the building with the arches is. I think DeFalco's was in this shopping center, maybe Mavin's, as well as an ice-skating rink
Wow - what memories. We had our first print shop in the two-story office building, so I am very familiar with the area. In 1983 the building with the arches was a coffee shop. Olan Mills had a photo studio facing east. I took my daughter there for her third birthday pictures. We then walked a couple of doors down and had a "girls lunch". Yes There was a DeFalco’s and an ice rink -- I think in reverse order, then a large "Moskatells" craft store, then another remodel making the Mavin Deli, along with a large store and behind that the Yarn Mart. Just out of sight to the East was Caesar's restaurant on the curve of Mission Center Road -- Estelle Valonis Brennan '63
Wow, Howard Rozelle's aerial that isn't an aerial brought back a memory. My first real job was bagging groceries at DeFalcos and later becoming a stock clerk. That store was really close to the Campus Drive-In Theater. We lived right down the street on Seminole Dr. That was just before I got my draft notice and joined the Navy in May of 1967 -- Gerald Hihn ’65
