I
THINK YOU'LL ENJOY THIS ROZELLE AERIAL. I
suspect you'll quickly get oriented, then
spend time looking for where you used to live.
It looks like another infra-red shot. I'll
guess 1955. Some of you out there will figure
out a way to zero in on a more exact date.
Hello
College Grove, with its Safeway and Thrifty
Drug Store. Still not finished but looking
good. Gee, Route 94 sure looks new and sweet.
Northeast of College Grove, we can see Horace
Mann looking somewhat new, Crawford’s
buildings taking shape, and the football field
looks like some grading was being done. Same
at Chollas Park across 54th Street. And the
Campus Drive-in is easy to identify, as was my
home on 59th Street. In fact, almost
everybody’s home must be somewhere in this
photo -- Earl

Rozelle #42, looking west from a little east
of La Mesa, with University Ave and El Cajon
Blvd prominent, might be from a bit
later than 1955. If you come east on Orange
Ave from Colina del Sol Park, it looks as if
Crawford is already built. If so, the photo
would have to be from a year or two later, or
maybe even more. Marketplace at the Grove (I
knew it as College Grove Center) seems to be
new. The light tone surrounding the buildings
obviously isn't grass (which is light in infra
red) but might be dry bare dirt. Asphalt comes
out fairly dark in IR. Maybe this is before
the parking lot was paved -- Bob
Richardson '61
