Notes:Uncle Tom's Cabin location is now Grace Honda. Lucky grocery store (with iconic tower/sign) on corner of Crystal Springs Dr. still exists, but is now a Walgreen's drug store, I think. Photo location is, surprisingly, still a Union 76 station.

Notes:I don't think the location is San Bruno Ave., I'm thinking it's either further north towards South San Francisco/Daly City, or (perhaps) Millbrae/Burlingame before I-280.

Notes:Caption says 200 block of E. Grand, but railroad switching maps show it was closer to Allerton Ave. Swift Ave. hints that this location is correct. The bridge over the road probably was for moving animals from pens on the north side of the road.
