Hello and great picture, The color of the building has changed over the years and I remember the drab grey it used to be when I played there as a kid. My Grandfather who owned the building and the business and would let us do anything we wanted in that place, my brothers and I built go karts, welded, started fires, drove cars and trucks all over that property, no joke!! We had great camp outs on the back of the property as my grandparents owned the whole couple of acres there while his brother Leo and son also lived there. Great grand parents and I have to tell you great people too!!, Joe Bloom
Dedicated to preserving a bit of history while enjoying the present in our community. I have lived in West Sacramento since 1958; long before it was incorporated as a city that consolidated the three townships of Broderick, Bryte and West Sacramento. My father-in-law, Frank Norton, was born in Broderick in 1910 in a house at 421 B Street. The West Sacramento Photo of the Day website is dedicated to him-- in memory of his magnificent stories of the old days.
If you are interested in submitting a photo, would like to use one of our photos or want more information about our "triv-history" project, please contact editrixes Barbara , Debbie or Christy.
