1936 - Salinas Valley lettuce strike, a police escort for lettuce trucks coming into town, you can just see Leidig's Market which was on the corner of South Main and Katherine Avenue, so those lettuce fields you see on the right became the Valley Center by 1947 and that cross street ahead is Orange drive. The stand of trees in the center, just behind Orange drive would be the Nissen Ranch owned by the Hitchcock family, the trees on the left down a bit would be about San Miguel Ave... my how the town grew.
