It made for a nice contrast from the rest of main street which is, naturally, heavy with glass display windows.<br /><br />The loss of the Bekins building is particularly hard because the faux-Victorian buildings that replaced it are not the equals of the original 1950's vintage store fronts.Katella Gatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05562521359201308834noreply@blogger.com
