My Mothers parents moved to La Mesa in 1927 and built their house on Merritt Blvd. It is called The Clifford Sawyer house. They camped there with their three little children (my Mother being one of them) as the house was being built. They drove their 1925 Studebaker towing a small trailer and set up their lives there. My Father's parents moved to La Mesa in 1936 driving out in a stake-bed Model T Ford truck. Grandfather got his first job at Drew's Garage, later Drew Motor Company and later Drew Ford. I was born in a little hospital on La Mesa Blvd before Grossmont hospital was built. I still LOVE La Mesa.
My hometown. Incredibly, I remember the same people in this videos growing up there in the 1980s. The ladies at Logan’s Bakery and La Mesa Drug Store I remember well. Little did I know that La Mesa in the mid to late 1980s wasn’t too different from the 1950s and 1960s.
This is why we chose to move here. 13 years later, I cannot wait to leave La Mesa. Absolutely not what it used to be a decade ago. It has become an extension of downtown San Diego. Many buildings popping left and right and many more homeless people. So sad.
Our family home was in La Mesa from 1957 until 2020. My father and brother passed away in the home in 2019. Sadly it is not the place it was when I grew up. The garbage has taken over thanks to the Trolley and East San Diego (Rolando) The La Mesa Police Dept hiding while Antifa rioters tried to burn downtown down, was it for me .
They had to hide.. becuase the media has completely lost a real sense of [right and wrong]. Fox news was only one condeming the looting and burning.. while CBS, ABC, NBC, 60 Minutes, Frontline, PBS,and CNN were all calling it "mostly peaceful protest".
