Yesterday

I grew up in the 1950's in the College area (SDSU). In those days we did not have a library, but we did have a bookmobile. It showed up every Friday at the intersection of Adams Avenue (my street) and College Avenue. It was timed I think to arrive after school let out so it was there for a few hours after 2pm. All the neighborhood kids loved it. I would always take out a book or two and return them the following Friday. One neighbor girl would always check out 4-5 books and read them all before the following Friday. Eventually the bookmobile was replaced in the 1960's, I believe with the College Heights library which was a huge upgrade. Very popular and very appreciated in our neighborhood. I drove by my old home a few years back and also by the library, which is now closed, I think. I really miss that time when things were a lot simpler and I was a lot younger. The Age of Innocence!
