Then and Now

‘Then and Now’: 48th Avenue Near Ulloa Street

Above: Two women on bicycles on 48th Avenue near Ulloa Street, circa 1945. The building in the background on the left is the restroom at the foot of Taraval Street. Photo courtesy of a private collector/Western Neighborhoods Project/OpenSFHistory.
Below: Ember Truppelli was in the right place at the right time to have her photo included in her neighborhood newspaper. Sans bicycle but sharing an equally happy smile as her counterparts from 79 years ago, Truppelli grew up in the Outer Sunset and recently returned after spending time in New York to study restaurant management at NYU. She is the operations manager at the Beach Chalet. Photo by Michael Durand.
