Bernie, gotta love the "port of Aunt Jane" sign. Thanks for the nostalgic view as I anticipate my trip north Monday.bajamigo - 7-1-2007 at 07:28 AM
Is that the SENTRI lane? And did the vendors wear suits? Hope you can post more pics like this. It was really enjoyable.DENNIS - 7-1-2007 at 07:34 AM
Wow ---- Some things never change. Look at the car on the right trying to crowd into line. And, they had internet back then. The sign says

DITTO, DIANE!
The photos and archives that NOMADS have are amazing. I admit that my TV is on less in favor of furthering my education. "How did you find out about
that?" is a frequent question from my new neighbors. BAJANOMAD is often my answer.Bob and Susan - 7-2-2007 at 06:05 AM
nice old photos...wow

I JUST LOVED ALL THIS OLD PICTURES - and it does show also, that people just have had the same desires way back. Must be within human nature, to seek
certain places of Beauty. Isn"t it? Anyhow was a good idea to bring that in on here! Thank you Bernie - for starting it.bajamigo - 7-6-2007 at 09:33 PM
Where do these pictures come from? I'd love to see a couple of hundred more of them. Thet really fire up one's sense of nostalgia.bajaguy - 7-6-2007 at 09:57 PM
I would like to get some old photos of Ensenada if you run across anyDENNIS - 7-6-2007 at 10:11 PM
There's a glass shop, between 4th and 3rd, that has the best collection I've ever seen. It's a rock toss away from La Moneda money exchange on 4th
but I can't recall the street. [ it's one street south of the river ] I'll find my map and let you know.
Don't bother asking this guy for copies or anything like that. He is very protective of what he has.

I wonder when and why the name Tia Juana was changed to Tijuana.
This has been addressed by the gentleman
from the Tijuana Historical Society - and FDT.
While I believe the "Rancho Tia Juana" land grant refers to the place by a number of names, the gentleman in Tijuana believes that there is confusion,
because the area around San Ysidro was first called Tia Juana or Tia Juana City - with suburbs planned named Tia Juana Junction and Tia Juana Heights.
That area was also known as the Tia Juana River Valley.
