Been to the West side of Alhambra? Come on over to the East side.
Read some of the history of Story Park.
In 1883, Francis Q. Story bought a big parcel of land here and
started some citrus industry. After allegedly being ripped off by
some fruit shippers he helped organize the Semi-Tropic Fruit
Exchange. The growers around here pooled their crops and built
their own packing house on the Monrovia rail line and it was in use
until 1932.
Story also helped develop the San Gabriel Valley Rapid Transit line
that ran from Los Angeles through Alhambra to Monrovia. His
influence helped bring Pacific Electric’s streetcar route thru
Alhambra on Main Street. Mr. Story also donated the land here for
this park bearing his name on Chapel.
The swimming pool has been out of use since one of those
earthquakes in the last 25 years and there’s talk about a new
senior center and housing down there.

Got this one with Firewalker. His geo-senses were very sharp here. Great sneaky idea! TFTC SL

Woo, Hoo! Got it. You guys do some of the best caches. Took a jeweled heart and left the Force and a Doubloon. TCTC.

Found this one a while back, just forgot to log it constantly. Great and inventive hide, blended well with the environment.
