With the local economy being the lead story this week, we thought it appropriate to feature this photo from our archives. This shows the business community in Mariposa circa 1881. Clothing, dry goods and much more were being sold along the main road in those days. Though some of the same is true today, it’s also safe to say today’s economy centers around Yosemite National Park. See our story on the front page for an update on the current state of the county’s economy. Do you have a photo for Flashback? If so, email it to greg@mariposagazette.com. Please include your name and a short description of the photo.
