Vacaville destroyed in year's second inferno / Bowen, Jerry [36] [WAYITWAS-2000-36]
In the early days of California it was common for hastily erected towns to be destroyed by fire. Homes and businesses were built close together and usually out of wood. The cost and importance of fire protection was ignored until a disaster happened. Occasionally, after a particularly bad fire, a town would slowly fade away and disappear if it didn't have a good reason to rebuild.

The Old Frying Pan May Soon Fade Away / Rico, John [915] [RICO-1979-915]
LET'S DINE OUT - Never in the history of the United States have the three words: "Let's dine out" been so prominently used. This common 1979 trait comes about because the lady of the house who at one time worked over a hot stove, now has steady employment helping to bolster her husband's income.

Early depot town faded away / Bowen, Jerry [711] [WAYITWAS-2007-711]
My interest in Solano County history began in the 1990s after I retired from Mare Island Naval Shipyard, and it grew by leaps and bounds when I met who I consider one of Vacaville's finest men ever to grace this community, Bert Hughes, at the Vacaville Heritage Council.
