That is so true. I remember the pickle smell on our way to Oakland via San Pablo Avenue. Brings back fond memories. L. (Silva) Harrah In a message dated 1/20/2010 10:13:34 A.M. Pacific Standard Time, [email protected] writes:
A large number of Portuguese came to West Oakland and San Leandro from HI after they finished their agreed upon time working on the sugar plantations in HI. As I was growing up in the 40's, there seemed to be a lot of Portuguese from mainland Portugal in Hayward. These people worked in the Hunt's Cannery and "the Pickle Factory," and in the fields and orchards around Hayward and San Leandro.
