Yes. I talk to my wife about it all the time. Places like Poway, Escondido, Rosemead, and even Bakersfield used to have huge fields of Strawberries, avacados, lemons, etc. Hell: everyone in my neighborhood had a tree growing in their yard. I had a meyer lemon tree, plum, and fig. Next door to the left had Kumquats and Napales. Right had oranges, normal lemons, and grew annuals like chile peppers and cilantro. I miss fresh lemons. I get them from the store, but it's just not the same as those old home grown ones. SLice into 8ths, add salt, enjoy.
none of that exists anymore. I've looked at street views. It's all gone. Too expensive to keep watered I guess.
