    I lived off Davis Street from 1959 - 1972 on Melcher Street and loved the area! I have so many great friends still from the area. Seeing all of the pictures of the area brought back so many memorie's. Who ever put this together did a wonderful job and I thank you. Great Job.

    Hello. I love I. San Leandro currently. The Coffee factory was demolished when I was about 10.
    I am now 13 years old and am a student at Muir middle school.
    Pacific high school is not their anymore.
    And SL was remodeled and now the campus stretches across streets and Shopping plazas.
    Muir is now the Better school and Bancroft is Ratchet.
    Actually we just finished the Addams Family Musical at the High school performing arts center and theater.
    My last street was Wayne Avenu
    My current street I won’t share

    @tombrody9208 6 лет назад +1

    I am not sure I completely agree with the comment, " it's almost unrecognizable to me today." For the past 30 years, I have held the opinion that San Leandro is the land that time forgot. Many of the neighborhoods look exactly the same as during the 1960s. The Bonaire neighboorhood looks exactly the same (there are no Starbucks here and no office buildings here). The Marina Faire neighborhood looks exactly the same (there are no Starbucks here and no office buildings here). The neighborhoods between East 14th Street and Doolittle Drive are all exactly the same (these neighborhoods are all lower middle class, and have a charming shabbiness about them, and still have runty-little grocery stores). John Muir Junior High School (my school) looks exactly the same, at least from the outside. East 14th Street is very much the same -- mostly this street has small businesses, trailer parks, laundries, used car lots -- - all in all, East 14th Street is much the same. Of course there are some differences: (1) The 50 foot tall naked girl at the San Leandro BART station is a new feature of San Leandro; (2) The shopping center at Marina Faire is thoroughly Asian. Most of the businesses are Asian, e.g., Chinese and Filipino. I do not remember seeing any Asian families in Marina Faire. I lived on Bermuda Avenue in Marina Faire (1964-1968); (3) Marina Boulevard has several glitzy new car dealership; and (4) My high school PACIFIC HIGH SCHOOL was torn down (apparently the result of a stupid and absurd decision-making process).

      It kind of depends upon which side of the freeway you are speaking of, Tom. But, I get your point. My old neighborhood is the same except my old house has become a two-story, and the sidewalks are lined with bumper to bumper cars.
