It's facinating to see the way the city has changed, the author has some good history and trivia throughout the pages as well.

This review is from: San Diego Then and Now (Hardcover)
This is one of two San Diego photo books I purchased for my husbands birthday. Absolutly beautiful! The black and white photography really captures some of the details that are lost in color photos.

San Diego.. Forever !,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: San Diego Then and Now (Hardcover)
I lived in San Diego, from 1953-1988, and moved to Arizona...why, I don't quite know. Took yet another trip to back to San Diego with my husband in 2010 and Ohhh how I miss my home town. The beaches... La Jolla Cove, OB and Mission Beach. Go Law Street ! This book shows so many of my best memories from Mission Valley and along The Avenue ( El Cajon Blvd), Balboa Park, "old" San Diego and now...the "new" San Diego. If anyone loves San Diego, no matter what the era this is a must-have book. The photos, then and now, just stop my heart. The research is excellent and I have learned so may new facts about where I grew up. Thank you so much Nancy Hendrickson. You have created my new favorite book.
