In 1939, the Uyeda family - Yoshiko, mother Naka, Mary and father Yutaro - sold flats of strawberries and other fruit at 331 W. Huntington Drive (just a bit west of Magnolia), along a stretch of Route 66 busy with traffic between Los Angeles and Riverside/Palm Springs. When the family was forced into internment during World War II, their friend Orman Good looked after their property. From the Susie Ling collection. See full details here.
