"All the beauty of mountain colors; the healthfulness of mountain air..." proclaimed the 1922 real estate brochure. Today, the same location on Riverside Drive (center photo above) sports an array of overpasses for the 2 and 5 Freeways adjacent to Allesandro Elementary School (below). The air is no longer healthful, so we do value our trees.
