I thought, since the underlying theme of this web site was connecting with our children through our school, these links might provide an immediate opportunity.
Ever wonder what Germain St. Elementary School looked like back in 1969, when many school parents weren’t even old enough to go there?
How about 1952? (Click on the images for a larger view.)
HistoricArials.com is a web site the whole family can enjoy and cross the digital divide together. (Then, try to explain to the kids how they took these photos without satellites.) Make sure you hit the “Pan Image” button at the top of the picture and tour the rest of the neighborhood at different points in history. You only have to go back to 1980 to see how Porter Ranch got its name, and how you could have safely told your kids to go play on the highway.
Enjoy! Happy time traveling!
