Within the boundaries of the East Sacramento News are Midtown Sacramento, an up-and-coming center for economic and residential activity; the McKinley Park and Fabulous Forties neighborhoods, homes and homeowners so famous they have been featured in major Hollywood films; River Park, a welcoming community along the American River; and St. Francis High School and Sacramento State University.

My mother in law lived on F street near McKinley Park for over 50 years and during the 1950’s and 60’s (maybe longer) she bought fresh fruits and vegetables from a man named Angelo who drove his old truck through the neighborhood selling off the truck. He would ring a triangle bell type thing to let people know he was there. He had hanging scales and open sides on the truck so people could see his produce. Do you know where i can get a picture or stories about this. My wife and her siblings would enjoy reading about him. They remember him well. Thanks Chuck
