3d generation Simi, 1st generation South Bay

I got home today and saw a great surprise wedged in my door. BC left a picture of Simi Valley as it looked back in 1938 when his grandparents first took it upon themselves to leave the overcrowded confines of the SFV and pursue a claim in more fertile grounds.

The parallel to where both of us are in our lives could not be more appropriate.

    It's really funny how differently generations perceive things. Not only did they leave San Fernando around WWII because it was too crowded, but last time they were in Simi, they didn't want to take LA Avenue to Vons because, "That's the busiest street in the whole town." ??
