Experiment In Terror - Kelly picks up Toby
Kelly's teenage sister Toby (Stefanie Powers) has slept over at a friend's house. Kelly drives there to pick them up to take them to school.
Then ... She drives the short distance up Glenbrook Ave from her home on St Germain Ave and stops outside the friend's house at 206 Palo Alto Avenue alongside a row of three sidewalk trees (map).
... and Now, those trees are still there today, now with sturdy 50 year old trunks. The house is there too but the brick walls have been refinished.
Then ... Toby and her friend exit the side gate of No. 206. The window on the left is the same one as the window at lower right of the 'Then' picture above. The view looks to the east towards the Bay Bridge and the city's Financial District.
... until recently ... the gate and side wall were subsequently remodelled. The photo below, taken in 2007, shows how the original wall, clearly visible, had been extended upward.
... and Now, below is the side wall as it looks today - the brick has been covered over with a stone finishand a new gate installed. The higher wall not only blocks the east view but so too does the large house built next door.
... the view east today ... if you could peep over the gate and the house next door wasn't there this is how the view east would look now. Compare it with the way it was behind Toby in the Then picture above
Then ... As Toby approaches her sister's car the view down Palo Alto Avenue shows those same three trees.
... and Now, the same view, the same trees.
