My first impression was that those photos look like a movie set, Ivan. Very cool. Who went to Tijuana in the 50s and took those pictures?

I think my parents went with the my mother's folks and brothers. Dad took the photos.

I'm a huge fan of old photos

Same here.

And a couple that I thought were just good photos:
Granny goofing around with a neighbor [1950 something]

Don't know who or when, but somebody from the past hamming it up for the camera. Probably ~1960
