Early Glendale

I grew up in Glendale in the 1960's-70's and was interested in its history. It has changed so much in my life, it's amazing what changes occured before I came along. I was completely unaware of the existence of Tropico as a separate town now part of Glendale. There's not much text to this book, though it is informative. The photos are the real eye-opener: amazing images of a time long gone. So sad so many of these buildings and homes are gone. I only wish there had been more about the correlation between then and now: do any of these places still exist? Where, in current terms, are these photos taken? A current map overlay with the old would be nice. Still, I can figure out a lot. I only wish that current Glendale was as careful of its development to retain some of its old charm.
