K Mart West San Jose, California
Aerial view from the Del Carlo Collection ( www.sourisseauacademy.org/archon/index.php?p=digitallibra...) of the now gone K Mart at 1454 Fruitdale Avenue.
The K Mart closed it's doors in 2001, well before the other San Jose K Mart's went out. The site sat empty for a while before apartments went up on the lot, with construction still occurring to this day, almost 11 years after the closure.
The diagonal road is Southwest Expressway, something that is not really an expressway but was initially planned as one, it was never completed and ends at Bascom Avenue.
Also I still live in this area today, it is odd to see how much it's grown, there were so many orchards then and lack of sprawl seen today.
