What a contrast from the sideshows and shootings of today. I can’t imagine how it was to feel safe in Vallejo.

Hi, I'm working on a documentary and I need some footage featuring Vallejo in the 1950s. Can I get in touch with you to discuss licensing this material?

I wonder if Florin C. Holm was in this Parade. He used to run West Bikes and Hubcaps on the corner of Sonoma Blvd and Florida St. Before that he was a Vallejo firefighter for many years.

Very nice historic film thanks for posting this. I've been a resident of Vallejo since 1993 & honestly maybe just growing up & raised in San Francisco prior, Vallejo reminds me a lot of what San Francisco used to be growing up. Yes it has it's bad however definitely gentrifying for the better. I believe too many focus on the negatives none of the positives. Residents here too less snobby & very approachable too unlike American Canyon which wants nothing to even do with Vallejo.

Between the apparatus and city itself, there is a ton of history on the film. I was not born until 1956, but wow!!!! I even saw one of the original Vallejo City Transit buses in the film.

Wow Vallejo is such a turd of a town today. What the hell happened? Wish there was some audio to this footage. I lived in Vallejo 30 plus years ago and it wasn't too bad. Came back to the bay area after growing up over seas and WHOA! This town needs an enema

Thank you for posting that. I grew up in Vallejo and the images bring back a lot of memories. I was a nine-year-old in that parade riding with Chief Jim Greg, of the Mare Island Fire Department. My mother was his secretary. The parade started west on Tennessee St. and turned south on Sonoma Blvd. The Texaco and Flying A gas stations were on the corner of Sonoma and Tennessee. Just up the street was the Packard dealership. All are shown in the video among other businesses. On the reviewing stand, the announcer was Al St. John in the gray suit.

thanks, Dann for that info! And so cool to know you are in that footage!

Well, I was in the parade but I don't think the chief's car made it into the film. Oh well. Still great memories of Vallejo in the '50's. We lived on Kentucky Street so the scenes in the film are very familiar. Thanks again for the great piece of history.
