The Sun Cities: Yesterday and Today
Social Science/History | Available (Membership Required)
Take a tour of the history of the two retirement communities by showing how the Sun Cities have changed and evolved over the years. This presentation shows vintage archival photos from the 1960s and 1970s of various buildings, houses, recreational centers, churches and more -- and how those same buildings appear today in 2024! Some have changed dramatically, some not at all -- and some have totally disappeared! Take a stroll down memory lane!!
