Description
Mike Smith, car dealer and La Cañada resident, talks with Virtual History intern Lily Fontes about living and working in the area. The third-generation owner of a local car dealership, Smith talks about how his family has sold cars to multiple generations of the same families in the community. He also recalls his childhood growing up in rural La Cañada full of undeveloped fields and orange orchards. An active member of St. Bede the Venerable in La Cañada, Smith talks about the role his Catholic faith has played on his education and his family. He also reminisces about the many businesses that have come and gone over the years.
