Once Upon A Coast ©

____________________________________________________________________________________



Once upon a coast...History does boast

There was a clarion call...
Come One, Come All

For Californians within reach...Everybody came to Long Beach

They swam, they saw, they sunned...Every Peter, Paula, & Mike
Then went Roller-coasting at the Pike




The stamp on the photograph read≈
Queen of the Beaches...A.T. Brown Photo...with Winstead Bros.


The caption below the 1915 photo:
Coney Island had nothing on us
