Great video of my hometown. When I was a kid, we snuck into those gravel/sand mining sites with friends and hiked around those accidental square lakes they created, and a security guard chased us. I hope they become public trails someday.
Thanks for the comment! It’s fun to look back to times as kids. I too grew up in Pleasanton and have similar stories but of course never got in trouble 😉
Grew up in Pleasanton late 60s threw 70s many fond memories. We lived on Angela St a few blocks from the fairgrounds. Watched George Foreman spare many times, Oh the Roller Derby my grandmother loved watching, lol the wrestling matches also. My father was a Jockey then horse trainer, we spent many hours at the track. The simple life we lived back then only 1 stop light, can't forget the smell from the cheese factory.
That house you showed as "Augustine Bernal's house" is not actually his house. However I believe its a building from phoebes original hacienda property. The Augustine Bernal house does in fact live on in part. When the Golden Eagle Estates were being developed they were going to demolish his house. However, John Madden and his wife saved the property and used its original footprint and walls as a room or area in the house they built. Thats why the Augustine Bernal park is above golden eagle as well as that was his property.
