My First Job - Was at this Taco Bell



Located on Francisquito - near the corner at Baldwin Park Blvd, you can also see the red roof of Tastee Freeze to the left. This picture was taken in 1968, check out those prices - 19 cents! Remember the firepits? I started working here when I was 15, in 1972. I used to walk here from home, up Van Wig Avenue - then west on Francisquito. I remember I made $1.65 an hour and when I got an increase to $2 per hour I thought Life was Great.... and back then - it was.
