This week I’m concluding my slide carousel labeled 1951 — although in fact the last couple of slides have the year 1950 written on them, and the first three might actually be from 1956. Ah, well! I originally posted these images in late 2016; they include scenes from a snow trip up Highway 50 (east of Sacramento) as well as Santa Barbara, on the Southern California coast.

Santa Barbara, 1950

The Blue Onion was located at 1701 State Street in Santa Barbara; you can view a copy of the menu here, on Imgur. This slide is labeled “Mojave & Santa Barbara, February 1950.”
