Los Alamitos Boulevard at Bradbury Road - Then and Now, 1972 and 2018

            Viewing south on Los Alamitos/Seal Beach Boulevard. The red rectangle in the modern view represents the approximate field of view in the earlier photo. Surprisingly, it seems that the overall view hasn't changed very much in 46 years, but the stores in the shopping center have changed dramatically.

When the earlier photo was made, the street name Los Alamitos Boulevard extended past this point until reaching the San Diego Freeway (Interstate 405)/Garden Grove Freeway (California Hwy. 22). Further south from that the street was named Bay Boulevard until it reached Pacific Coast Hwy. in the older part of Seal Beach. Now, Bay Boulevard is known as Seal Beach Boulevard which extends to this point at which the name is Los Alamitos Boulevard.

In the middle of the older photo, in the distance are the line of eucalyptus trees that once lined the east side of this street from the Mobil gas station at Plymouth Dr., southward to Lampson Avenue.
