My best friend and I were riding our bikes eastbound on Vanowen near White Oak with the eucalyptus swaying in a light breeze on a beautiful late summer day in 1956. We were on an emergency run to the Wilshire gas station to get some strawberry Nehi soda for my friend's dad. I said to myself, "It doesn't get much better than this." Unfortunately, I was right.
You got it, was there and did that a million times it seems
Those emergency runs hit hard. I remember one for my dad on bikes first. Just recently we did one again and it was in a car. Time flies fast.
00:55 that random wave from her was so great. She probably would never believe that thousands would watch her many decades later.
I grew up in Chicago and nothing beats the great memories of being stuck in a freaking snow drift.😆
i live in studio city and walk down ventura blvd every day, very grateful for this footage ❤ wish du pars was still around
There is still a Du-par's in Farmer's Market (3rd & Fairfax) Not exactly within walking distance though.
I'm so very grateful I was born in this era. A grateful boomer! Cars, music, fun, family and love!
Me a 2000 kid. Definitely jealous as heck.
I was the last generation to grow up without phones/pcs. And I did enjoy it. Riding the bike until dark etc.
Worked at Flookys and Wil Wrights Ice Cream Parlor. Shopped at Sav Ons and Thriftys. Ate at Casa Burger and Steak Burger. All in all, a great childhood.
Wil Wright’s near Van Nuys Blvd.? Our family place for ice cream in the 60’s.
@@YosemiteFour Speaking of ice cream, remember the Thrifty cube scoops?
Casa Burger was sooo good!!
@ricknewbranch5735 yeah & in that thrifty U came in the back door, the Ice cream stand was along that east wall then go out the front .... Buddy & Mary Browns toy store was down by Vantage, 31 flavors behind it
I grew up in Sherman Oaks in the 1960's and 70's. Thanks. It was a great place to grow up.
Oh wow…..KHJ AM. I used to listen to that station back in the day. Then I discovered FM and that changed everything for me when it came to music.
There wasn't much music on FM radio in the 60s, and listenership didn't overtake AM until 1978.
Fabulous video of the Valley I grew up in! Sherman Oaks native... been everywhere and always back to the Valley. Thank you!
Yup. Me too. Taft HS class of 1965
Sherman Oaks native here as well! Loved growing up in SO
Wow, very cool. my parents built the house at 14630 Greenleaf st in Sherman Oaks right after WWII. We lived there until 1961 when we moved here to San Diego because of my dad's work. If you goggle that address the two trees in the front ( our mom planted ) as of 2021 will be 75 years old. That's a lot of leaves to rake every autumn. At 2:26 the classic La Rena theater was within walking distance from our casa. Many,many Saturday's were spent in that moviehouse my brother. sister and i would walk down and watch two films, a newsreel, a cartoon and a serial plus a soda and some candy for a couple of $'s.Of note some of our neighbors were Sol Saks, George Gobel,, Johnny Wissmuller, Bud Abbott, James Dean, Rosalind Russell. Joe Madro o line coach with Sid Gilman for the Rams and Chargers.....Mahalo for reading my comment and many aloha's to you
Hi!! It was the La Reina Theater. I grew up at 4555 Ethel Ave & Sarah St. The 70's & 80's I spent my formative years skateboarding up, and down Ventura Blvd! ❤️✌️🤙 I watched sooo many movies at that theater! I graduated in 1982 from US Grant H.S. I remember when they were going to tear it down, but instead put a Mrs Fields cookie store in there etc. Just keeping the front of the theater. I literally started going there at age 4. Casa Vega.. Thriftys for a cone.. Ventura bus line all the way to the beach! We are blessed to have been young in those days!! I'm 57 now. Nothing is remotely the same. Peace and love to you, brother from SFV. ❤️✌️🇺🇸
Madros lived in San Diego's Del Cerro neighborhood in early 70's... his daughter was friends with my sister.
@@stewartteaze9328 The Madro's lived across the street from us on Greenleaf st in Sherman Oaks. Joe would run plays for us kids on the block in their backyard. his son Tom was my age, Bobby a few years younger and his daughter ( her name escapes me ) was my sisters age,do you know how the three of them are by chance?....Aloha
California at one time so beautiful . Full of hope and potential . Thank you for the look back on a golden time and place so many things culturally surfaced from there . The people inhabiting the place now with not a clue about what happened before. Poor place gave so much , now receiving so little .
'Thanks!...... Ventura Blvd from Studio City at Laurel Canyon to Tarzana at Ventura Blvd & Tampa was my frequent SFV drive... for years 'Many Cool Memories' !!!!!
The neon Lights at night were the best !
Grew up Sfv born in 68. Look at all the old cars...lack of traffic on Ventura Blvd
Best place ever to grow up back in those days. Remember Scoops...grandmother loved that place for some reason.
Too many good memories to mention..ran pool routes in the Central and W valley 90ish til mid 2000s had a blast.
Thanks! & the radio station KHJ was just around the corner from my grandparents' home on N. Bronson Ave at 5515 Melrose Ave 'Memories A La Carte'...
I loved every minute of growing up in the valley. Such great memories from those days. Thanks so much for bringing a little nostalgia to my day!
Edit. Born in Pacoima grew up in Sylmar.
Thank you, our family moved to Reseda in 1962, lived on Vanowen just down the street from Corbin and Giacapuzzi Dairy.
Giacapuzzi Dairy! Good lord, does that bring back memories. I lived on Sylvan Street, near Reseda & Victory.
This is especially jaw dropping and fascinating to me as someone who was born in 2005 and grew up in Studio City, I'd seen what it looked like around the 80s/90s but seeing spots I actually recognize and what they looked like even longer ago is truly special
I think the highlights to me are seeing the old corner of Ventura and Sepulveda, seeing the Safeway on Ventura near where Carney's is now, and the corner of Ventura and Tujunga which is right around the corner from where I grew up. I also love how the Casa de Cadillac is still there and wish more of the classic stuff was still around!!
Also they need to bring back the old lights on the Studio City Theater
Great memories. Laurel & Ventura: Home Savings building on the right; CVS on the left was Thrifty’s forever. Went to high school right behind Thrifty’s and worked at The Original Coffee Grinder next to Savon.
Great video's they bring back so many memories I lived in the valley through the 60s till87 I miss the old days. We were so fortunate to have experienced the old days. To bad it's not like it was. You All Take Care 😎
Amazing footage! I grew up in Studio City in the '60's in a house about 2 blocks south of Ventura and Laurel Canyon. I remember there was a soda fountain in the back of that Thrifty's where I used to get a chocolate coke at the horseshoe shaped counter. I lived in the house my grandfather built in 1936, the same house my mom grew up in. We still own that house today.
Did U go to Colfax & Reed ? I grew up in the Dona Streets in the New Laurelwood Nieghborhood, we went to Colfax because there was not enough room for us @ Carpenter till they built the new 2 story building then a few years later the Sylmar Quake hit.
5 cent ice cream cones at the Thrifty on Ventura and Laurel Canyon. I liked Rocky Road. Miss you Dad.
Love this and I love the music! Thanks for sharing!
High school stopping grounds love it!
Worked as a valet at the King's Arms for a time. The Moskva Cliffs used to be a favorite restaurant of ours. And worked at Richard's Texaco, Lindly & Ventura. Casa de Cadillac at Van Nuys & Ventura was used in a scene from the Original Gone In 60 Seconds. ( circa 1974, no CGI)
The Boulevard is still awesome.
Gone and never to return those golden years....it's a ZOO now
I need more 😄😆
omg, Four years of absolute silence and then this! I was already mourning the passing of a great channel/channel minder and suddenly... it all seems resurrected :) Although I'm not from California I do enjoy the vintage atmosphere of an era when I was still a little kid :) Welcome back! and don't make us wait another 4 years for one of your atmospheric videos LOL Cheers !
Love it!
Extraordinary. Thank you for doing this.
Did you read the band on the marquee at the Cinnamon Cinder? Ike and Tina Turner. That club was owned by Bob Eubanks. The Beatles had their press conference there before playing at the Hollywood Bowl.
This channel was recommended after i subscribed to NAAS , so happy to subscribe to you also 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Have lived all over the valley. Brings back many good memories an a few bad. Thanks. Wonder if Getty owns everything?
Gosh remember KHJ KMET KLOS. Those days way long gone now. Never be the same as the 70s
Bravo!
IAM from Hollywood Los Angeles van nuys Sherman oaks
The Real Don Steele!
27.9 Regular and 29.9 Premium. Miss those days!
Some gas stations would even give you a free gift.. such Great Memories then
WOW, THANK YOU
old cars and music and signs make it -> all hand made
That final shot was near where the Carney's is now. According to 'Maps', the bowling alley is still there. I remember going to spend the day nearby with my friend whose father was one of the principal animators for "The Secret of NIMH" which was produced in a rented office building nearby. We spent a few hours at the bowling alley playing video games and then we watched a rough cut of the film which was nearly completed. Sadly, we did not eat at Carney's, and to this day I never ate there.
My old stomping grounds.
When America was still America ................................
Really no difference other than the web has shown us the truth of what was truly going on beyond the fringes of television and media.
@@reason5591 And moral degradation.
I've never seen some of that footage before. Filling in the blanks, motel next to where Jerry's Deli used to be, another motel next to gas station corner of Beverly Glen. Old house next to La Reina Theater. Drive up car in Sherman Oaks or is that Laurel Canyon? There was one on Laurel and Ventura. The fun park for kids where Carneys is now; actual footage. Never seen before. Viewed maybe 100,000 images of the area. Absolutely fantastic!!!
Nice!!!
@0:36 is Ventura passing the laurel canyon intersections at the end. The movie theatre on the left is now a barns & noble and the thrifty right before the intersection on the left is now a CVS
I went down that Super Slide @ the end of the video, that was in the east parking lot next to the Kirkwood Bowl....
1:45 Is that Flooky's? "You flooky flooky..."
My first job. The batting cages.
Oh what Great Memories 🙂 The cars are so Awesome. Not to mention Thrifty Drugstore, I really miss that store. I grew up in the San Fernando Valley. To me it seemed like better times than.. than now.. Thank you for posting this video 🤗
Perfect timing to catch a Challenger in 2020 @ 1:11!
Wow..Got married in 1967 and my first apartment was right behind the La Reina movie Theater on Ventura Blvd.. It can be seen at 2:25 second Mark. Decided to leave Calif in 1974 after living in the S.F Valley for 20 years. It was turning into something I didn't like even then.
By the mid-70s anybody could have seen all S. Calif. was starting to slide. Never thought it would go as far as it did, though.
There was a Jazz club a few doors from Du-par's... Once upon a time...
I never got to go to Du Pars :( too bad they switched it to that cosmetic place
The Baked Potato is now the jazz bar. Dupars...mmm I miss that place more than words can say. 😭❤️
Lol I used to go to that Tiny Naylors late every nite ps. My 1978 car burned up in Calabasas in 2017
Lol! Was that you?!
I miss my 1964 Buick Skylark, Convertible. Grey with a red interior. It was awesome! I'd put the top down and my Surfboard in the back seat which was 9 feet so it would reach the front. lol An INFINITY BOARD from Huntington Beach. Hand-made by a friend. We had some wonderful times in those days. Surfing Malibu, Santa Monica, Huntington Beach Pier, and Mexico on the weekends. Almost lost my life though being stupid in Huntington one day. 20 foot waves came in with a STORM and Yes, I tried to surf that! I was terrible at holding my breath and got HIT WITH A HUGE WAVE. TAKEN TO THE FLOOR OF THE OCEAN. OMG! That was close. 1968. And it is now 2021 and I'm here to talk about it even AFTER A US ARMY STINT FOR 6 YEARS. Vietnam and Germany . Investigations NATO COMMAND. 9th Infantry Division. "River Rats". HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE. 2021 Will be a Better Year! 2021-2028. Let us Pray for the VACCINES and a Presidency which can REPAIR USA. It's been attacked by Putin and KGB/FSB and Domestic Terrorists. We must repair our country. We've done it before! Bless you all.
Khj radio station cool ass radio station
So sad. If only I could go back and stay in the 60's and 70's. I grew up around this area, Santa Monica and Venice Beach. The best of times. I remember listening to KHJ The Real Don Steal. And these songs. The world is completely different now. Pure evil. Violence, hate everywhere. No innocence left. Kids can't play outside without constant supervision due to so many perverts and murderers. Very sad the best times are gone. The world gets worse by the day now.
Lighten up, Francis. The world is better than ever, even with its problems. Kids have always been able to play outside without constant supervision and forget about your"so many perverts and murderers." Most crimes against children are committed by family members or acquaintances. Even someone who spends way too much time on a computer instead of enjoying life.
1968 good? Let's see, there was Vietnam (One out of every 10 Americans who served in Vietnam was a casualty. 58,148 were killed and 304,000 wounded out of 2.7 million who served); assassinations of Martin Luther King & Robert Kennedy; the Chicago Democratic Convention; Richard Nixon; and then for my family, my 46 year old mother died in March 1968. As Robert Paris, below, said, "Lighten up, Francis"
@@sprkl5d the Watts Riots, and theLAPD cops who caused it, Charlie Manson (my ex got pony rides at the Spahn Ranch from Charlie’s girls and Tex Watson), assassinations (RFK in LA-I was there; Martin
Luther King, Malcolm X, George Wallace) my HS friends coming home in boxes from Viet Nam, Catholic priests raping little boys which was covered up by Church and cops…I could go on. The air was so polluted it hurt to breath until they took the lead out of gasoline. Nostalgia celebrates a past that never existed.
Getty images ,,,, we get it.. geezz
I don't add Getty images ... it's watermarked on their footage.
So it's this or nothing
Oh I know, half kidding.. Great video BTW...😊
KFWB, Channel 98!
...on Ventura there she goes...she just bought some bitchin' cloths
If anyone lived in the neighborhood around Ventura Blvd. and Coldwater Canyon, right by Sportsmans Lodge, in the 1950s-early 60s--I would appreciate interviewing you for a project I am working on. Just a few minutes of your time. Thank you. PM me please. Thanks!
I did. But it was 90’s.
I lived close by in the 1960"s be happy to interview.
What was the name of the toy store between Marks Valley Drugs and the Sherman Oaks Newsstand?
Notre Dame HS- 64-68.
Harrys Camera !
Do any of your videos show Ventura or Port Hueneme before 1971?
$.27 gas. Cheapest I ever bought it was in '67 (Ohio) when the gas stations were having a big gas war......$.22.9. Get a buck's worth of gas and drive all night and then some.
Loved the video, but shouldn't the music be Ventura Highway by America?
Getty Images is so evil for buying up so much footage and photos and putting their water mark on all of it. Disgusting, loathsome company.
2:40 gas .27 and .29 cents per gallon.
You put out a CZcams video that says you're in Studio City, and you're not in Studio City!
Video starts at Laurel Cyn and Ventura Blvd. passes through most of Studio City. And Sherman Oaks.
@@ericsadler9664 It's kind of an inside joke between me and the uploader
I wish I could have see the Valley in the 40s in the 80s/ 90s and 2000s it was just a parking lot ,I mean the whole city is just clogged with cars
So great. Would've been better had you ponied up the dough to buy the footage so we don't have all the watermarks, but it's still appreciated ;)
$800 a clip [per year]
@@ABlastfromthePast Ouch. I get it now.
What is still there? I know Jerry's Deli is, how about the turquoise shop across the street? Dupars?
All three are gone
@@robertparis4698 Jerry's is still there.
Jerry’s closed a month ago
Great, except for the getty images plastered over it, I have many fond memories of cruising all around California from 60's with my family, and the 70's & 80''s with my friends eh
RTD bus...
Why was it necessary to have "GETTY IMAGES" in giant letters right in the middle of every picture?
Thumbs down.
Born and raised here it really sad how ghetto it’s gotten.
Downvoted for putting that text in the middle of the screen.
: (
take off "geety images " of screen
that water mark sucks
Where are all the Spoonies and homeless encampments? Oh, I forgot, everybody had JOBS back then!!
