Lower Broadway circa 1958

 (Posted on the Vintage San Diego Facebook page April 11, 2023)




Looking northwest from 3rd Avenue.  At the very left is the YMCA, then the Pickwick Hotel with the Greyhound Bus sign running down the corner.  The United States National Bank is middle-right, and Veloz and Yolanda's Dance Studio can be see above the Saratoga Grill at the right.  When's the last time you saw a sailor in Whites crossing lower Broadway?  When's the last time you were ON lower Broadway?


The ad on the trash can advertises Auto Races at Balboa Stadium -- Midgets, Jalopies, and Sportsman.
