it's interesting to see an old movie of the town you currently live in. so many things have changed in martinez, mostly looking at how everything has developed... the football field now is next to a major street with developed homes. all those old business lining main street are gone... i guess 'martinez steam laundry' lost too many customers to washing machines!
