Bay Meadows, Part 1
Bay Meadows, the local horse racetrack will be closing next week after 74 years of operations. Some of my friends and I visited this historical location for the first and last time yesterday. It had hosted famed horses such as "Seabiscuit" and "John Henry", but these 84-acres will eventually be turned into a commercial and residential development.

Like the world really needs more commercial and residential development--good grief.
Thanks for the link to the story of the track. That part about its operation during WWII is fascinating.
Lynette, I thought the WWII history was interesting too. This place is part of history and I didn't know about it until now.
Its sad to see a part of history go the way of condos and malls. I lived pretty close to this for most of my life and during Fair times we went to a few races.
Thanks for the photos before its demise.

Well it is sad that houseing takes over but i like the idea of no races. but i am sure they will make another one. I used to love to watch horse races, but then they also get hurt and have to be put down and that makes me sad.
