Mountains are visible in the background. The names of each respective building is listed in a key below the drawing, while the buildings of the shipyard along the shore have their names written on their sides. To the far right, a collection of tends can be seen surrounding a campfire. More text beneath the title reads "Latest edition corrected by a committee of pioneers consisting of Richard M. Sherman, William Heath Davis, Ferdinand Vassualt".; Picture file card reads "View from coastline shwoing storefronts looking across the bay to Yerba Buena Island.

Maison St Vincent de Paul - Orphelinat de Garcons, Rue Sidi-Abil-Dardaa, Alexandire d'Egypte - Gymnastique." ("House St Vincent of Paul - Orphanage of Boys, Street Sidi-Abil-Dardaa, Alexandria, Egypt - Gymnastics.") Twenty-one orphan boys wearing white shirts and dark baggy pants perform gymnastic exercises in the courtyard of the orphanage. Three boys are balancing upside-down on the parallel bars while two other boys swing on a high bar.
The back of the postcard is blank.
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.

Very interesting spider species, the sole representative of the California endemic genus Calponia. Calponia is known only from Bay Area counties, from San Benito county northwards to Mendocino county. Named by Norman Platnick in honor of Harrison Ford, reflecting Mr Ford's efforts on behalf of the American Museum of Natural History in NYC. Read more about the spider here:

This elusive spider was collected by JS. As he suggests, "Glad we could bring the fugitive into custody!". I presume that you've seen the movie....
