In honor of the summery weather we've been having, today's images are a circa 1950s travel decal from Huntington Beach and an undated view from the H.B. pier. The large white building is the old saltwater plunge. Note that the oil derricks stop at about 8th St..

You may notice a few minor differences in the technical aspects of this blog. I updated to Blogger's new online-interface-editing-whatchamacallit, and it makes things look and feel a bit different. Once I get it figured out, I might even add a few new features.
I just came across this blog -- it's great.
ReplyDeleteAmazing photo of the derricks and the beach-goers.
Chris Jepsen has got a 1979 photo of Michelle Pfeiffer, wearing a thong bikini in her Fountain Valley front yard, diving onto a slip-and-slide - but he won't let us see it.
ReplyDeleteBwahahahaha!!!

ReplyDeleteI hate having to take down comments. I really do. But this isn't a forum for political fights. I have no idea if "juaneno's" words were true or not. To be honest, the topic isn't even an issue that's on my radar screen. But either way, his comment would certainly have drawn fire from juaneno's target -- And I hate flame wars.
ReplyDeleteIn short, I encourage your debate on this issue, and any other issue you care to tackle. But I'd appreciate it if you'd find a more appropriate online political or current events forum. There are a bunch of good ones out there.
Thanks.
With that said, here's a quote from juaneno's post that *should* probably be here:
"...In February 2008, the California Coastal Commission denied a proposal by the Transportation Corridor Agency (TCA) to extend the Foothill-South Toll Road through southern Orange County. Members of the Juaneño Tribe and other residents expressed concern that the proposed toll road could disturb sacred Juaneño ancestral sites."
