This is an aerial view how the Lynwood Civic Center looked in 1959 – before the Senior Citizen’s Center, the Lynwood Library, the Lynwood Unified School District offices, the Lynwood Skate Park and the CVS Pharmacy/Chase Bank complex were built.
As you can see, some of the same parking lots are still there today, although 1950 Lynwoodians must have preferred slanted parking spaces as opposed to the straight ones we have today.
If you live on Ernestine, Platt or Walnut Avenues, can you spot your house? Has it changed much since 1962?
