In September 2015 I started a discovery project with an almost 100 year old map of Pasadena. At the time I called it One City One Map
Life intervened, progress was slow, but I pushed slowly forward and now I’m going to be presenting my work to the Huntington Westerners in Pasadena on March 4, 2017. Mostly what I’ve done is look in depth at some of the locations on the old map and compare photos from the 1920’s and the present. For instance:
The Ross Balloon Field in Arcadia circa 1918 (looking southwest)
Today it is a golf course and the Arcadia civic center
There is a slide show which I’ll try to post here in the next few days.
