My mom used to call it the “land of fruits and nuts” back in the 1950s, as she had a sister that lived in Santa Barbara.

My husband has cousins in CA. One of them used to call us in August tell tell us “the weather is here, wish you were beautiful”.
August in Texas is brutal and they loved to laugh about it.

I spent a year on Treasure Island in ‘62 and ‘63. California was referred to routinely as the “land of fruits and nuts” back then and San Francisco richly deserved the title even then.

I was born in the early 70s. I can't even imagine how awesome California must have been in the 1950s, before the invasion.
