Location #4

A classic old gas station with a connected cafe, this old Norwalk and Rincon Cafe is located at the very north end of this section, very near the convergence with the current 101 freeway, on the east side of Alta St. I am still reasearching the history of this little gem, and will update with more details soon. There is also a rare migrant farm workers camp right next door which has an interesting history also. This location is listed on the maps as the town of Dean.
