he Vista Inn as it appeared in the early days in Vista at the corner of what is now Vista Way and Santa Fe Ave (You know that hill at Vista Way and Santa Fe, right?). The building was moved to S. Santa Fe and Escondido Ave. in the 40's and was torn down for the wood in the early 60's.
The Vista Pharmacy and Safeway Mark
The Old Calvo Avocado Packing Plant
Old Jefferson School
Yes, it's still standing. Clearly, the old was classier than the new. Actually, it's kind of nice to be able to walk safely across it now! Just watch out for speeding bicyclists.
Catch the Historic Rancho Buena Vista and the Vista Ranchos Historic Museum and Wildwood Park
The Museum, located on E. Vista Way, has tons of old pictures, books and artifacts and is staffed by many long-time residents who can tell you even more!
When you are done at the museum, cross the Footbridge
and go to the Rancho Buena Vista Adobe (1854):
Or spend a little time at the creekside Wildwood Park:
