Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Photograph of the new post office and bank building standing alongside a street near the landing in Big Bear Lake. A street stretches across the foreground on an angled decline angle from left to right. At right, a traffic sign reads, "END 25 MILE ZONE." On the opposite side of the street, left-of-center, a new strip mall stands. It is viewed at an angle from the front and is obscured by trees that line the roadside at far left. The post office occupies the left unit of the new building. Etched into the windows surround the post office's doors, it reads, "POST OFFICE BIG BEAR LAKE [???]." Further along the far side of the road, an automobile dealership stands, right-of-center. Dozens of cars sit in an open lot and a garage stands behind them. A sign for the business reads, "BIG [picture of a bear] MOTORS." Big Bear Lake is visible in the distance at center and right. Mountains rise from the opposite shore in the far distance.
