Sundays In My City
This is the city my mother was born in, grew up in and is buried in. It is where her heart always was even after she married my father and moved to Los Angeles in 1940. It's where I spent every summer on my aunt's ranch and every weekend I possibly could during the school year. It's where I ran the streets day and night as a kid never fearing a thing because I was related to just about every resident. It's where I moved as soon as I was married because, like my mother, it's where my heart was then and where my heart will always remain.

What a great little town. You took some wonderful pictures of it too. It means even more because your mom loved the town and you do too, so it has to be special.
Your city is beautiful and you are lucky that you could go back and live there!!
I would love to make a trip down there. I live in Antioch, in the Bay area. :)
it looks like a great little town...with things to do when you are not at the beach...real wild west entertainment too...nice.
Ahh! You're making me miss home! My grandparents always took us to sea shanty. I miss it!
There really is no place like home. How lucky of you to get to remain where your heart is! :-)
I need to look up this place. Looks very nice and peaceful. On the ocean too.
I spent a few Fourth of July's there with Kelly and lots of other relatives of yours who I couldn't keep track of then and certainly couldn't remember now. It is a truly unique and beautiful spot. Feels very un-California. Yet there you are staring out at the beautiful Pacific.
Lovely shots. Looks and feels like a lovely town to live in. Thank you for sharing your past and present. Blessings.
I love the pictures of this town!!! I have never hear of it but would really like to visit one day. I love small towns!!
I wasn't aware there were places like this in existence in CA. This place is fantastic!
It looks like a wonderful town. No wonder you left your heart there.
I have relatives not too far from there, in Santa Maria.
Unless I'm pronouncing it wrong in my head, I'm not sure I've even heard of this before. I swear I think I hear of a new town in California I've not heard before. It sounds just plain awesome.
I've never been to the real West - your town looks like in the movies! Cool!
Sunny SIMC greetings from Casablanca!

I can see why you love it so much!
ACK! I just saw my comment again and forgot two whole words. I meant to say: "I swear I think I hear of a new town in California I've not heard before EVERY DAY". Only now it's sort of lost its punch, really. {SIGH!}
This little place looks just lovely. I could spend a summer there!
I've never been. I'll have to plan a trip.
