It's a small world!
It was interesting to me to discover that Holt crossed Arroyo Ave. (Hwy. 99) at street level. Did not know! Also interesting to see that little lemon grove on the adjacent hill (it was lemons, not oranges). That was still there when our family moved into our new house in December, 1959 (50 years ago this coming Saturday, as a matter of fact). Actually that little grove was still there even into the late-'70s. Me and my buddies used to drive their dune buggy on that hill where your office park is now!
