Description
Captured in circa 1975 is this later afternoon scene at the Southgate Shopping Center at Florin Road and Franklin Boulevard. A period neon-style sign stands prominently in the center of the frame while three palm trees stand to the left, before a settling sun. Opened in 1960 by James J. Cordano Company and Blumenfeld Enterprises, the 10 million dollar, 60-acre mall was set with 28 stores, expanding to 38 in October 1961.
