Oakland, Oregon


	Standing on Locust Street one can feel the hustle and bustle of days gone by...


	Farmers driving their flatbed wagons loaded with wheat for the grist mill...


	Laborers building bridges, kids playing in the schoolyard, the sound of the locomotive chugging lazily by...


	Mothers sweeping off their verandas and Nettie Young and George Stearns sipping a soda together at the soda fountain.
