Pacifica

California residents and many a visitor to the Bay Area only know Pacifica as a suburban coastal town - but this history follows the 1900s development of the town as no other, from its early days as a railroad town to its current suburban community standing. Bill Drake owned the Pacifica Tribune from 1959 until 1989, Chris Hunter is its current editor, and members of the Pacifica Historical Society contribute the vintage photos so much a part of a history and survey which is lively from the beginning. Tourists visiting the town will relish Pacifica's colorful history.

Great gift idea for anyone who grew up in Pacifica. I gave a copy to my uncle and it reminded him of his own history in Pacifica. Sometimes you don't know what to buy for older relatives and this book was quite a hit at Christmas!

Thank you Bill and Chris for sharing some history and some great pictures of Pacifica. It is great to see old faces and memories of some great times. It's also nice to see what Pacifica looked like in the early days.Waiting for volume 2 ???
