Re: Old Street Scenes

Not all that much has changes in the circa '65 Sunset Beach shot, the Douglas Gas station is now a used/consignment car lot, the building to the right is a Taco Surf, and Turc's Bar to the left is exactly the same. The water tower in the background was converted into a home 20 - 30 years ago, and has been pretty much on the real estate market perpetually since.

Re: Old Street Scenes

----Oh yah!!! I now I recognize that watertower. I used to stay at a motel just south of that when in the LA area.....Bill S

Re: Old Street Scenes

Bill,

There is a small motel on that side down the street next to an Italian restaurant. There are two others going north on the opposite side of the road closer to the bridge going over Anaheim Bay where the Navy has a large pier. Where this photo was taken from has changed significantly. It is called Peter's Landing with condos, shops, and a Starbuck's where the locals have small car shows on weekends.

Note the Yenko Chevrolet truck on the far left....

Re: Old Street Scenes

Bill,

Took this a few minutes ago, for comparison purposes, since you remember the tower. The signs on the tower say "Vacation Rental" and "For Lease or Rent." I also took shots of the other two Sunset Beach scenes if anyone is interested.

JB

Re: Old Street Scenes

I was going to say something about the water tower...but I figured that you'd be on here soon anyways!

Taco Surf...MMMM good food! We used to go to the one by Seal Beach Pier all the time!

Re: Old Street Scenes

Bruce,

You are correct, sir. That place is always crowded. This thread really brings back memories. On 165, this one almost got by me, though, also in Sunset by the Post Office. The only way I picked up on it was the New Englang Lobster sign. Remember that place up close to Warner? They used to bring in New England seafood weekly. I always used to wonder "why?"

JB

Re: Old Street Scenes

-----JB,,,The motel Im talking about is probably a quarter of a mile, maybe a smidge more, south of the tower. It has parking underneath and fronts on both PCH and the road between PCH and the Pacific. Not the greatest place, but clean and was always cheap. Just cant remember the name. Whats the name of that restaurant right close to the tower that had the killer breakfasts??? Woodies, maybe???.......Bill S

Re: Old Street Scenes

Bill,

Yes the restaurant is "Woody's." I thought you were talking about the "Sanatra Motel (or Inn)" but it does not have underground parking. The Ramada at the corner of Warner does. Was there a Jack in the Box next to it, car wash on the other side?

JB

Re: Old Street Scenes

----Geez,,,I cant remember. I know it wasnt a Ramada back then......Bill S

I have a few older pictures of my dad and some of his cars. He is retired from Chevorlet in NC.
The Camaro is one we had. Dale Jarret bought one of them. We lived in Conover NC at the time. The young man is my dad in Yazoo City Miss leaving for Detroit to train.
The young lady on the ss impala is my sister inlaw. The one picture has my dad & mom in it and the little kids is me and one of my 5 brother's.

Re: Old Street Scenes

I just got this sent to me. It's a buddy of mine who in 1976 totaled his 1973 SS Nova with 4 other friends in it. He said he hit an embankment at about 100MPH backwards. All survived.
