Sorry For Lagging, BUt....

I have Finally Finished reading the History Of the Mt Eden Area, and have been pretty Impressed on how a tight knit community, such as Mt Eden was able to keep its name and history for so long, thanks to advocated from the families of Pioneers that have settled in the Area. The Last week, I was looking for a way to get some kind of information to try to interview a family member from the original Mohr Estate, but that plan has gone sour since I recieved no response from the help I was suppose to get! I learned in the reading that The Mohr estate is still in existence today, directly next to Chabot College. What happen was the original benificiaries of the estate Of Mr Mohr, who owned land all through out alameda county, 700 acres in total, inlcuding Union City, and the part that was one of his kids ended up selling for the buiilding of a community college, Chabot. Wheat Grain was originally grown on this land immidietly after the arrival of plenty of Dutch Immigrants. Unlike immigrant groups from other parts of the country, these immigrants were actually professionals in their country, or they were just adventure seekers who hit it big. Wither way, people in this area were prosepering at the time, and the main land owners were loved by their communities as well.
The original Salt Ponds were all given to a SF bay Area conservation group, and are state ran now. One was over ran by the building of the San Mateo Bridge, and another, Off Clawiter, is a museum that you can visit today.
I will be putting up blog postings every day, the rest of the week, so stay tuned...pics are coming soon too ( Tomorrow, for sure, My bad on the lag class...)
