Avalon
Photograph article dated July 19, 1962 partially reads, "A family vacationland on an island in the Pacific, with a main street where cars are forbidden, and where life races along at a snail's pace. That's Avalon, on the island of Santa Catalina, a world apart, yet only a $6.52 round-trip steamship ticket away." In the foreground, beachgoers enjoy the sun and water while the S.S. Catalina is seen docked along the pier. Further in the background is the Catalina Casino.
