Thanks for the first person history lesson of the San Jose area, an area where I went to college and still work. Of course I'd heard of all the orchards on Blossom Hill Road, but I never saw them. It was the nineties before I saw the area, and it was completely developed by then. You make it sound wonderful, and I'm sure it was. I tend to get misty over things like this; I can't think think about it for too long or I tear up. And, as a fan of Steinbeck, I hate what is happening to Salinas as well. Thanks for the mental picture of the orchards. I'll think of it every time I drive down Blossom Hill Road.
