The neighborhood I live in, the South Shore area of Alameda, CA, has plenty of mid-century modern and googie architecture still standing, and even a little Polynesian Pop as well. The 1950s South Shore Shopping Center is presently being remodeled to look faux-Mediterranean, so the future of the rest of the mid-century buildings in the neighborhood is uncertain. I decided to take a walk on a recent sunny day and document as much of it as I could.
