my old high school in a scene from Rebel without a cause. (really Santa Monica HS) Santa Monica Pier, 1910 Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, built in 1958 The famous sign, still there today the famous carousel on the pier. Rae's Diner, been open since the 40's the canons on the palisades from the 1860's the camera obscura (really cool) SM city hall, a great example of art deco architecture from 1931 i believe.. bay shore lanes, 1957 douglas aircraft plant during WWII housing for douglas workers SAMOHI kids horsing around. (You are not supposed to step on the school seal) There's a scene in Rebel without a cause where he almost gets beat up on his first day
I'd like to see some pictures of the Pike in it's hayday. By the time I made it there in '70 the only thing I remember is a gin mill where we stopped in to have a few beers.
I'm just another newbie 'round here but I've got to tell you guys how much I've enjoyed this thread. Never been to LA but I feel like I at least know a little something about it now. The vintage pics are great. To Mazooma, BrerHair and the rest of the "regular contributors", thanks very much for a very entertaining thread. Denny
