Good morning. A member was asking what this building used to be in the past. I'm unsure of the exact location / address, but it gives off old school Taco Bell vibes to me. Thanks! - Josh

Still here good people! Still alive and breathing. Just been busy with full time work. Question from a member:

"This is a longshot, but I’m trying to find out what happened to Ed‘s Bread from the 80’s. Do you happen to know if the company was sold, change names, or any information? Cannot find anything online, but it was sold at Frazier Farms in North County and a couple other places in Escondido at that time. High quality, whole-grain bread with sunflower seeds."

Thanks to Stephen Dolenski for the Reddit link where I got these photos. They were posted by Global-Researcher883. First ever photo I've seen of Boomers & I think that's the Go-Kart area. Both appear to be Escondido area indeed.

The only known digital photo of the front of Family Fun Center (FFC in the 1990s). I spent A LOT of time here, so any photos of this place hold a lot of sentimental value to me personally. Don't think Carmax was much of a fair trade. ;)

"This was on the corner of fourth and S. Escondido Blvd. Probably taken in 1954 or so. It was then bought out by Jack Powell. My dad was a mechanic there."

Tried to enhance & upscale an image of the Vineyard Mall from the 1981 OGHS yearbook. At 4096 x 2954, you can actually see the murals now kind of. Brad, you are an amazing human & painter sir.

P-L-A-Y-C-O, Playco late 80s. Tried cleaning up & enhancing the image because it's the only known image that shows some of the train mural in color.

No clue about this photo. Reverse image search brings up no results for it. I tried cleaning it up a bit. Car says Escondido Hotel? And is that the post-1929 Escondido High School in the background? Guessing this is Grand Ave.

Can anybody fill in the blanks? Jim & Emil, do you guys know? Thanks!
