The East Yolo area's first bus is shown in this rare photograph, believed taken in 1933, provided for reproduction in the News-Ledger by Walter Gibson, acting general manager of the East Yolo Community Services District. The lady at left is the late Mrs. Mary Misitich, whose duplex dwelling at the corner of 15th Street and Alabama Avenue was also headquarters for the "stage line," which carried passengers from West Sacramento, Broderick and Bryte to Sacramento and return. The bus system was later owned by the late Ernest Tyhurst of West Sacramento and Mr. and Mrs. Forrest Johnson, also of West Sacramento, before being purchased by the Gibson Lines. The lady at right is unidentified. From the News-Ledger online archive.

Hi Everyone,
I would firstly like thank Barbara S for inviting me to share some of my images taken around the West Sacramento area and also to introduce myself.
My name is Garry Everett and I have been living in West Sacramento since 2005, relocating here from Houston to start a new job. I am originally from Australia and came to the USA in 1992 again for work. I have a full time job in Davis working in Subsea Robotics which enjoy immensely and is the main reason I have not made photography a full time vocation.
With that out of the way the first image I wanted to share with everyone is of the most identifiable landmark in West Sacramento which was taken from the I-Street bridge.
