The people living in the Simons Brickyard didn't have home mail services. They had to have their mail addressed to "General Delivery, Montebello, Ca." - I remember riding my bike from the late 1940s and up until the Brickyard closed in 1952 to the Montebello Post Office on 5th street (pictured) to pick up our mail (bills) - I shot this picture this morning when I was in Montebello for a haircut, and it was the first time I've seen this post office since 1952...The building has not changed much from those early days. The main entrance is on 5th street, shown is a sidestreet entrance, - Ah memories! Just can't escape them!
