In the immediate middle foreground of this picture postcard with an aerial view, looking east, the San Diego Municipal Pier stands out, alongside the landing for coal bunkers (one of which can be seen) to the right of the pier. India Street fronts the harbor, along with streetcar tracks leading south to the right (poles visible along the streetcar line). B Street, Broadway, F Street, Market Street, K Street can be seen making straight lines more or less east, with Balboa Park in the north, on the left. Going toward the top and to the left are the Naval Hosppital, Marine parade grounds, the California Tower and California Building, and in the middle of the top left area under the mountains is the Cabrillo Bridge. The Curt Teich number on the back is A-85992, decoded to the year 1921.
