LOOKING BACK : IMAGES FROM THE ARCHIVE
In honor of the Chinese New Year and the start of the Year of the Rabbit here ’ s an image from our archives showing a 1920s advertisement for the Mission Rabbitry , a rabbit farm once located on El Camino Real near the intersection with El Monte Avenue . As noted in the advertisement , this area was historically known as “ Junction .” We ’ re unsure exactly when the rabbit farm closed , but the mission-style arch that spanned its entrance survived until 1971 , when the site was redeveloped to build a Sizzler restaurant . The inset photo on right shows the rabbitry arch as it appeared in the 1950s taken when the site was home to Bolster TV Repair .
