Another garage sale find. Scanned with a Moviestuff Retro-8, no post-processing except a little sharpening. Music by Me. This is an "orphan film."

For non-commercial use, I simply require a credit and a link back to the original video on my TH-cam channel. For commercial use, we can discuss an appropriate licensing fee based on your budget.

As a kid around this time, we used to drive from San Carlos area to Point Loma to visit my aunt and uncle who lived off Rosecrans across from the Naval Training Center. I wish there was more footage of the I-8 I remember with dairies where CostCo and Ikea are now. We used to hold our noses because the smell would permeate the car. Then count down the streets off Rosecrans to Sterne - authors names from Zola to Alcott. Thank you from this lovely trip down memory lane.
Small world-I too remember that drive from San Carlos to my Grandparent's house in Point Loma-Rosecrans to Talbot-right turn-2 or 3 blocks-their house was on the corner of Evergreen & Talbot. I-8 was complete by then-mid to late 60's-but still a fair amount of dairy farms there. The 805 bridge started construction in '67 & finished in '73. Sure doesn't look like that any more.
That area is called Loma portal.
Wow. Found you while looking at vintage synth demos and see you’re in San Diego where I spent most of my life. What a great way to look at the town I love and miss.
That's where I grew up. 1963 was one year after point loma high school. Thanks for the memories!
Thanks for sharing this. I'm surprised at how many things look the same. :)
Just made that same drive in November, but mine extended all the way out to Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery. My grandfather was buried there (yes, buried; his rank in the Army earned him the honor that possibly no one else will have again), overlooking his home town of 84 years. Beautiful footage, thank you for sharing!
Perfect music for this..There were dairy farms in mission valley well into the 1970's
people would travel from all over san diego to get milk in mission valley. my uncle used to walk from adams to ferrari dairy almost daily for some milk and told me he'd meet all types of people on the way there.
Holiday Dairy Farm
Great footage man. The area has hardly changed!
Early in the video they pass the Crown Plaza hotel. It is still there. This reminds me of the San Diego I dimly recall growing up in the 70s down there.
The turn in is at the Whittier St. cul de sac off of Rosecrans.
I always wondered where those stairs led to...
You could travel the same route and do a 'then and now' then piggyback them. That would be cool!
Or even with Google Streetview. Then we know the adress, and then we might find the filmmaker.
The last 1/2 is Rosecrans Street in my neighborhood... if u drive down it down today it looks remarkably the same... almost all the same houses are there!
Drove down Rosecrans last week and turned on Whittier..it's a narrow street!
Cool video!!!
looks exactly the same today on Rosecrans in front of old NTC. nice!
Thank You ... Haunting ... wish i could Quantum Leap into the 8mm. (go back & seriously talk to my young self!)
omg Pea-Hicks - did you go to Uni High School? I didn't, but my friend Karen did and I feel like you were friends with her. Anyhow, loved this vid! Crazy to see the I-8 when it was still brand new!!!
That's me! Are you referring to Karen W?
@@peahix Yes! I know her from Parker - she's a dear friend. She's living in VA now but I still see her from time to time. Wow, so random to meet you through the TH-cam algorithm! Anyhow, great channel - I love seeing the San Diego of my childhood! :)
was just texting w/ her a couple weeks ago. haven't seen her in person in awhile, though!
@@peahix well, you're definitely on her mind now b/c I texted her to let her know I stumbled across your youtube channel! :)
Cool! Thanks for posting.
Great post...thank you!
Wow
wish the population was still that low
Well, the home it pulls into is 3034 Whittier St 92106. The earliest public record for a sale only goes back to 1991. Still, might be fun to shoot a postcard to the current owner with this link.

@@azizhassan2035 Correct!
Ah, the old Loma Lodge with its Gilligan's Island font.
I really like the soundtrack. A lot.
What a cool find! Judging from the cars I see, this looks to be a few years earlier than '63.
Agreed - looks to be more like '60 or '61... I was born in '59, and can remember what the cars looked like in '63 - and they weren't all mid-50's vehicles (the latest model I see clearly is a '58 Ford).
@@blunderbuss999 Agree, this is 1958 or 59.
Cruising through my neighborhood....
I was hoping to see the old marshlands but it kinda of skipped past that.
Nice vid though, the music gives me a “Steve Zissou” vibe :)
Cool !!
Enjoyed all the old cars. What were you cruising in?
Great music, guy. Whats that dead end street he turns up at the end, anyone know?

Yes. I agree. Fun riding back then wasn't it!
Danial Tijuana Gringo Yes, it looks like they were just building Interstate 8 then, or maybe widening it.
58 years ago and counting... "Our lives are but a vapor in the wind"... Always be prepared to leave this world whether you want to or not. "The bell tolls not for the dead but for the living" God have mercy †
Great time, before the downfall.
this music sounds like something bad is about to happen.
Imagine telling those people that every kid in SD would be covered in Tattoo's and staring at their phones...
Where are the cows? I was told there would be cows!
