These are the very northern California, central valley, streets on which the film American Graffiti was filmed! During that era, teenagers would travel from all over - including Stockton - to drive "the strip." (In the film, the graduation party dance band is said to have traveled "all the way from Stockton.")
Modesto was the Hawthorne/Norwalk of northern California in the 1950's and 60's, the place where teens got around and had fun, fun, fun until daddy took the T-Bird away.
