'Tapeworm ticket' hurts intestines of election
/
Goerke-Shrode, Sabine
[765]
[WAYITWAS-2007-765]
My last column looked at local elections in the 1860s and 1870s and their tumultuous proceedings. One of the most memorable elections occurred in 1871, when Vallejo gained national fame for the invention of the so-called "tapeworm ticket." The main information for the events surrounding this ballot ticket can be found in "Recollections of a Newspaperman," written by Frank A. Leach in 1917.

Wartime proclamation reflected somber mood
/
Goerke-Shrode, Sabine
[738]
[WAYITWAS-2007-738]
My last column looked at the early years of the Fairfield-Suisun Airbase, a wartime response to the attack on Pearl Harbor. Although the local newspapers did not report much about the activities, local residents were eager to learn more about the "great flying field."

Fun Time At The Springs
/
Wichels, Ernest
[838]
[WICHELS-1965-838]
Last Sept. 13 we wrote of the past glory of Blue Rock Springs-how it was established about 1866, taken over by General Frisbie in 1869, the center of Vailejo's summer life-dancing, swimming, camping-for half a century.

Buildings That Are Old, New
/
Wichels, Ernest
[807]
[WICHELS-1964-807]
Several days ago the Casa de Vallejo was heavily damaged by fire. The blaze was confined to the wooden, or eastern portion of the structure. The younger generation is undoubtedly of the opinion that this has always been a hotel-but less than 50 years ago it served an entirely different purpose.

Early Vallejo Race Tracks
/
Wichels, Ernest
[806]
[WICHELS-1964-806]
The Solano County Fair is here and the horses are running! This is a young Fair but many Solano and Napa residents may have the impression that racing is "new" to these counties. Have you ever heard of Vallejo's Hollywood Track, or Vallejo's Cyclodrome, or Napa's Race Track?

One of' the Gibson Publications-the Evening Chronicle, is nearing Its 97th birthday. It was established as a weekly in the summer of 1867, just in time to give a running account of the progress of railroad construction proceeding from South Vallejo toward Marysville.

Days Of May 114 Years Ago
/
Wichels, Ernest
[799]
[WICHELS-1964-799]
Many things have occurred in Vallejo's 114 years of existence. Every day must be an anniversary of some event in our community life. One way to dip into the pages of the past is to recall earlier happenings in the merry month of May.

History Repeats
/
Wichels, Ernest
[860]
[WICHELS-1964-860]
Anniversaries do have a habit of repeating themselves. Last Tuesday's Chronicle featured an illustrated story of the demolition of the slip of the Mare Island Ferry Co. at the foot of Georgia Street. Since the days of Farragut (1854) this area has been the departure point of passengers bound for the naval shipyard.

The Turkey Is Unchanged
/
Wichels, Ernest
[859]
[WICHELS-1964-859]
Thanksgiving has always meant turkey (even though cooked on a wood stove) , but the day has changed in many other ways. Up to 50 years ago this city and county invariably celebrated Thanksgiving Eve with a Masquerade Ball.

Changing Fashions
/
Wichels, Ernest
[849]
[WICHELS-1964-849]
Newcomers, and the younger generation, are not as conscious of the changing fashions of living in this area as are the oldtimers or those who pore through Solano County's historical past. We are all aware of the new bodies on automobiles and the gadgets which add considerably to the cost of a car.
