Day 20: Locke, California
Day 20: January 20, 2014: Locke, California
Taking advantage of a holiday Monday, I took a little road trip with my friend Lorrayne up to the delta to check out Locke. She has family history in the town, and I was in need of an interesting adventure out of the city, so off we went.
This out of the way little community dates back to 1915, and was originally built and settled by Chinese immigrants. Currently designated as a National Historic Landmark District, the town if full of history from its days as a rural Chinese community, including an interesting little museum set up in the former gambling hall. Most of the Chinese population is long gone now, but the community remains as an interesting mix of history and quirky shops, bars, and art galleries. An interesting find off the beaten path.
I think ol’ clementine down there might have actually belonged to the girl in the window, but I’m not certain.
