San Diego Avenue, Old Town by RD Riccoboni. Randy RD Riccoboni is an insightful, American born artist (California, 1960) influenced by a plethora of sights, sounds, colors, textures and emotion.

Riccoboni’s profound love for art and architecture are evidenced in his paintings, landscape and portrait masterpieces.Town, Racine and Laramie Store. Juan Rodriguez, a Mexican soldier who had received the land as compensation for his service, probably built his home here in the 1830s. It burned in the Old Town fire of 1872 and has been reconstructed and furnished with period pieces to recreate the Racine and Laramie store, which sold cigars, tobacco and stationery, as it was in 1869.
