Then and now: More open space now compared to 1965

Highway 50 in 1965. Photos/Bill Kingman

McDonald's is just out of the photo on the left, with the rest of that side of the highway being Linear Park.

These pictures are of Highway 50 near Sonora Avenue in South Lake Tahoe.

People often say the South Shore  is overdeveloped today, but clearly there were more buildings in this section of the city  in the mid-1960s.

The photos are looking toward Stateline.
