Remember...?

 

Dogtown & the Z-Boys, the Southern California boys who started the worldwide skateboard craze.

Hangin' out in Hollywood and people-watching. We got an interesting education in cultural and social differences. Remember how much fun it was to watch all the "star-struck" tourists, walking around and gawking, hoping to catch a glimpse of a movie star or rock star? 

Santa Monica Pier. Nothing like it for a fun and riotous day (or night) out.

Remember cruisin the Blvd. on Wednesday nights? Now that was class. Some of the best times of my life took place on the Blvd. Nothing like pulling up next to a really hot car and climbing in through the window while some of the best damn rock stations in the world blasted music through the night, LOL!

Venice Beach!!! Sun, surfing, sand and lots of fun playing Frisbee. Face it guys, we grew up in the best place in the world, SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA!!!!

Beautiful Malibu, aka "The Big Boo." Just as gorgeous at night as it is in the day.
