I was in the 11th grade at Wilson High School in Los Angeles. I was living in East LA ( City Terrace ). LA was a lot of fun back then. Today, It's in shambles. Sad. Good video.
@@AlanBondFilms 2 months late to the conversation, but your vid's date indicate it was posted 9 years ago. However, all its comments are from the past 2 months----YT's algorithms do wacky things. As for being in a shambles, the scenes of Hollywood Blvd in the 1970s show it wasn't ideal back then either. Parking lots around Graumann's & in other sections of the street too. Some of the buildings were vacant or almost abandoned. LA's air was also way smoggier in the past. But the city's politics & too many of its voters (throughout Calif too) in the 2020s have hurt LA & the West Coast.
I guess I was around 12 when my family first visited LA back in the 80's. Magic Mountain had a birtchin roller coaster, but no large trees. I eventually moved to SoCal in my teens & 20's and made this place my home. I learned to drive in LA by watching shows like Adam 12, Dragnet, Emergency, and the Rockford files. Many of those land marks are now gone, but some are recognizable! Funky soundtrack BTW! Thanks for the Wideo, Hugs :)
Grew up in L.A. and I loved living there in the 60s and 70s. I had lots of friends and we'd go to drive-ins, bowling, have a 2AM meal at Sambo's. My parents took my brother and I to see Mary Poppins at Grauman's, I got to meet Walt Disney at Disneyland and have fond memories of Marineland and Knotts Berry farm. It was a great, relatively safe place back then. Moved out in 1980 and would never go back now in a million years. Liberals have destroyed it and it will never recover.
That's good to hear and I understand even though I didn't live there, but only a fleeting visit. I'd be going to Disneyland everyday!!! Also the studio tours etc. But times have changed and not for the better. We don't have a Disneyland in Australia because we don't have the population for it!!! Thanks for your memories of another time, cheers Alan

Thanks for your comment. You don't realise at the time but what you are filming becomes history. Cheers Alan
