Alamitos Heights Then and Now

Dave Miller stopped by to share some pictures of Alamitos Heights from way back. Dave grew up here. His dad, George Miller moved here in 1946. He past away last year. ( future post)

Dave was telling me all kinds of fun stories about what it was like as a kid to Grow up in Alamitos Heights in the late 1940’s and 1950’s.

As you can see in a few of these pictures, there are Oil Derricks in the back grounds.

I hope you enjoy these as much as I do.
