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

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