Re: Use Limited Diff Lube Only Tag Question
If you had been here in the 1970s you wouldn't recgoginze it! Not a good
thing IMHO. Lots of yuppification. The actual beach area is not too
different, but most of Santa Monica has gone with the nasty trends of
the past few years.....lots of new stop signs, speed bumps, Starbucks,
"upscale shops", multiplexes, tourists, you name it.
The Pep Boys which had been on the corner of Santa Monica Blvd. and 6th
Street turned into a Salvation Army store about 2 years ago. I avoid SM
as much as possible these days. My folks still live there, and my doctor
and dentist (way too much of him lately) are there.
I'm in Mar Vista, just East of Venice. For the most part my nieghborhood
is still nice. Oddly, I now live 5 blocks from where I lived until I was
12 years old. Dad moved to Santa Monica in 1971, and I followed in 1975
when Mom and the ------- (I mean stepdad) moved out of state.
Hum, you remind me, my 25 year Samohi reunion is coming up! Class of 1980.

I was a bit young for that, but got a taste. When Mom met my stepdad, he
rented a 3 bedroom house on Howland Canal for $85 a month. (1968 I was 6
years old).
But I remember Venice when the boardwalk was just a zoo and not a
circus. My stepdad, though he was an ------- (he's been dead for 20
years now) was a writer, poet, and sign painter. More of a beatnick than
a hippy. He used to do standup poetry readings back in the 60s at the
local night spots, and was on the same bill with George Carlin a few
times. I do rememer Olivia's, the soul food restaurant that was where
the "heritage square" is now in Santa Monica, on Main Street. This is
the place that the Doors song "Soul Kitchen" was based on.
My sister was more into all the "counter culture" stuff, as she is 8
years older than me. We had a band practicing in our garage for a while,
because she was dating the lead singer. The drummer went on to the band
Ambrosia. They keyboardist used to babysit me, lol.
I remember P.O.P. and the Watts riots. Mom was working at Good Samaritan
Hospital the night they brought Bobby Kennedy in. I remember Marina Del
Rey when it was still a swamp. And I remember going to Seaworld in 1968
right after it opened, with Mom and Grandma, while Dad, my new stepmom
and the older kids went to Europe. Dad gave Mom something like $300 (a
forture in those days) for a weekend. We rode the Santa Fe, took taxis
in San Diego and the occasional bus, crammed with sailors on leave. We
stayed at the Hyatt Islandia which was also brand new.
My stepdad took some regular 8mm movies in Venice in the mid 1960s,
mostly converging on anything over a C cup, but also taking in the other
scenery. Mom found it in her attic up in Oregon, after he passed away,
and we had it converted to VHS. It is around here somewhere. Cool stuff!

I was a bit young for that, but got a taste. When Mom met my stepdad, he
rented a 3 bedroom house on Howland Canal for $85 a month. (1968 I was 6
years old).
But I remember Venice when the boardwalk was just a zoo and not a
circus. My stepdad, though he was an ------- (he's been dead for 20
years now) was a writer, poet, and sign painter. More of a beatnick than
a hippy. He used to do standup poetry readings back in the 60s at the
local night spots, and was on the same bill with George Carlin a few
times. I do rememer Olivia's, the soul food restaurant that was where
the "heritage square" is now in Santa Monica, on Main Street. This is
the place that the Doors song "Soul Kitchen" was based on.
My sister was more into all the "counter culture" stuff, as she is 8
years older than me. We had a band practicing in our garage for a while,
because she was dating the lead singer. The drummer went on to the band
Ambrosia. They keyboardist used to babysit me, lol.
I remember P.O.P. and the Watts riots. Mom was working at Good Samaritan
Hospital the night they brought Bobby Kennedy in. I remember Marina Del
Rey when it was still a swamp. And I remember going to Seaworld in 1968
right after it opened, with Mom and Grandma, while Dad, my new stepmom
and the older kids went to Europe. Dad gave Mom something like $300 (a
forture in those days) for a weekend. We rode the Santa Fe, took taxis
in San Diego and the occasional bus, crammed with sailors on leave. We
stayed at the Hyatt Islandia which was also brand new.
My stepdad took some regular 8mm movies in Venice in the mid 1960s,
mostly converging on anything over a C cup, but also taking in the other
scenery. Mom found it in her attic up in Oregon, after he passed away,
and we had it converted to VHS. It is around here somewhere. Cool stuff!
