I'm sure all of us have seen this photograph generously provided by the Alamo Farmers Co-op Elevator Company. It was in honor of Alamo's 50th anniversary in 1966.
This is an earlier picture of Alamo taken from the hills south of town. Hiway 50 is just a gravel road, so it must have been in the '40s or early '50s. Any better guesses out there?Remember to click on the picture to enlarge it, and use the back arrow to return to the blog.

I love the view from above...the greens and all the white houses...it is like Mayberry USA. It was an ideal time to grow up...small town with good people and honest work. I wish everyone could experience what we had. We were very lucky kids!
How many miles do you think we traveled driving those streets, cruising down to the lake and points beyond..What wonderful memories of innocent times. dj
The arial picture of Alamo made quite and impression on my co-workers in Santa Ana, CA. We were living there when Arne was in the Marine Corps and I had received the picture as a postcard from home. Of course I had to bring it to work and show everyone. The first question was "is that a suburb?" If they only knew it was our own little suburb and that none of us would trade it for any city.
