The picture of the Steam Engine Train Ride for kids that was part of the Virginia Country Market brought back memories for some. I speculated that our market at the corner of Long Beach Boulevard and San Antonio, where the 7-11 and our closed Ralph’s Grocery store is today, was our version of the Los Angeles Farmer’s Market. Well, this photo of the Virginia Country Market taken on June 11, 1945 answers that question. Thank you Long Beach Historical Society for providing this photo.
