Brea street name changes and April Fools Day

By now, you should have figured out that my last post was a photoshopped April Fools Day gag, and that we still can't find a real photo of Walter Knott and Walt Disney together. If you - by some miracle - know where to find one, drop me a line.

Meanwhile, the photo above depicts Pomona Ave in Brea, around 1914. Today, Pomona Ave is called Brea Blvd. A few more Brea Street name changes follow:
  • Deodora (in Brea) and Ocean (in Fullerton & La Habra) are now part of Lambert Rd.
  • Brea-Olinda is now Birch St.
  • Cedar is now part of Imperial Highway
Feel free to post a comment if you know others.

Sadly, I had to shut down comments (my favorite part of the blog) thanks to endless spam. Most of my posts are linked from my FB page, so feel free to comment there or to email me. If I can find a more secure way to do so, I will bring back normal commenting later.
