Description: Title supplied by cataloger.
Avalon, or Avalon Bay, the only "official" city on Santa Catalina Island, is a rural waterfront town with the usual tourist-oriented businesses and services lining the coastline. Beside Avalon, the only other center of population is the small, unincorporated town of Two Harbors on the island.
Photograph caption dated November 7, 1984 reads, "Though the sleepy town of Avalon, above, is virtually ignored by political canvassers, pollsters and campaign strategists, Catalina Island boasts a consistently large turnout on Election Day."
