Location #3
Downtown San Luis Obispo. I included this location because of the large number of good vintage photos that are available. I start this location off with some shots that I did looking down the streets around Marsh, Higuera, and Monterey. I will fill in with vintage photos of similar composition as I collect them.
Updated 3/8/2006.... Marsh St. bridge (1909) photos added.
