A view of Pacific Ave N from Locust St, likely sometime between 1935 and 1939. Nowadays, the Sock Shop is right there on the corner. If you stand there and line up the tower near Zoccoli's, you'll enjoy the same view through a modern lens!

This is the plaza at Watsonville, complete with a look at their bandstand. This photo was taken within twenty years of the bandstand being built, as for that duration it was made of wood. It was rebuilt in 1906 and still stands today. How different does it look now?

Tuesday Tips: Study smarter, not longer! Take short breaks to refresh your brain—walk around McHenry or S&E, stretch in the yoga room (bottom floor of McHenry), or climb the stairs for a quick boost. Rest helps your mind retain more. You got this, Slugs!

This photo, taken June 11, 1923, shows us Curtiss JN4D2 or "Jennie", a WWI training plane, near San Vicente. Santa Cruz didn't have a major military base during the war, but it was involved in a number of different wartime efforts. Perhaps this was one of them!

This 1919 photo brings us to the corner of Pacific Ave and Walnut Ave, apparently while under construction. In the 1920s, Santa Cruz was still developing and had a much smaller population. So this is a glimpse of our city before it became what we know and love!

This 1966 photo comes from Eric Thiermann's collection. It brings us a glimpse of a student in the forest on campus, perhaps exploring. A fitting image as we move into the warmer climate of Springtime!

This 1880-1900 photo brings us to Glenwood Magnetic Springs, a 210 acre resort established in 1877. The resort closed in the early 1910s, though it is unknown exactly when. Would you soak in a magnetic hot spring? Maybe not after a hip replacement!
