- 1947, West Sacramento, California, more views of this up and coming addition to Sacramento City and all of Northern California as it's river front views, baseball park seem to be on the front edge of an ever growing energy to make West Sacramento a really nice place to live and visit.
These vintage views include the old Drug Store that sat at what was Peterson's Corner in the day and on the front of the building are signs for the Doll House Hamburgers and Bell Telephone signaling that there is a payphone on the premises. That's Tarzan being advertised with Jane in a black two piece bathing suit. This is the West Sacramento Pharmacy. The next scene is that of a new building construction site next door to the Farmers Market store. The new construction building the new "West Sacramento Professional Building and doctors offices" with the anchor store being the new Drug Store with a new sign reading "Prescriptions Drug and Liquors" is being performed by the Continental Construction Company and Teichert Aggregate has been around for a long time, one of their trucks is dropping gravel for the parking lot. The last views are of the newly built store and in the background we see the old El Rancho Hotel and a Flying A gas station.
(Thank you Gear Whine for identifying, the Capitol Motel (white building rotunda that looks like the Capitol) that used to sit where the City Hall stands now and that the local airport was behind that.) - Jak na to + styl
The cars were so dope!
Born and raised in west sac. So crazy to see this footage
I do this for folks like you, so glad you appreciate it. Thank you for watching.
I like seeing old footage of towns before I was born.My dad and mom was living as kids.
Cool video.
Looks like the old Post Office is to the right in most frames, where the flag is flying. Become Roger's Auto Parts later on. Thanks of the video! Ha ha made me feel young and old at the same time?
Thank you for watching and the info, this kind of information helps to make the film more complete.
This was before the I-5 ,80 freeways we're bult. You had to use tower bridge , I street bridge to get to west Sacramento , and out to San Francisco . This was before my time I don't even recognize it.
I have always thought of folks like you when posting films like these. A view of familiar places in the past. It’s good to see where we came from. It gives you a better perspective on where we are now and how we got there. Thank you for your memories and thank you for watching.
Another good one George. Also visible in the background is the "rotunda" of the Capitol motel (edit: or was it a trailer court?) where City Hall is now. The airport was behind that back then. Thanks much!
God loves your eyes boy! Hey thank you so very much I figured I’d have to wait at least six months before somebody will identify what motel that was. I thought it might have been called to Capitol Motel and I even looked it up but I couldn’t find anything on it. Thank you so very much again for watching sir!
@@OfficeofImageArchaeology here's a link to a site about Capitol Sky Park, which has several visuals of the area.

If this link doesn't work, the site is "Abandoned & Little-Known Airfields: California: Northwestern Sacramento Area. Great great site.
@@bendeleted9155 I know this site I have contributed to it in a roundabout way. I have seen a few of the images on that site that I once owned. Thanks I'll look it up.
Back in those days there were no skyscraper buildings.Then you could see the Capital building from a distance.But now in 2021 you can't see the Capital no where from a distance.
The making of “Broderick”
Never thought of it that way but I guess your right. I should drive through the areas that are depicted in my Sac films and do then and now videos. Thank you for watching.
You only live once county
Looks more like 1957 based on the cars.
You are so right most of it is from that era. At the tail end there is a clip of the car that has a license is dated 1947 and that’s what I hastily based it on. Thanks and I am glad you enjoyed it.
Just a bunch of crap if you dont include west capital race way
