Captivating article, that conjures up the time and place. Hilarious, to boot

I once saw a friends' concrete slab ripple and return to normal, in seconds, as I witnessed my one and only quake. They were nonchalant, having always lived on fault lines. I was in awe.

Great memories of the "back in the day" when LA was the hub and not the "black hole" it is today. Although, having visited there few weeks ago, Venice Beach still brings a smile. There was a time when walking about Santa Monica, Westwood, Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Culver City, Brentwood, Pacific Palisades, having a drink at the Roosevelt Hotel, hiking to the Hollywood Sign, taking in a Dodger's baseball game, hearing Miles Davis play at the Lighthouse, or Quincy Jones play at the Troubadour---all made the sun, beach, palm trees, freeway traffic, and even the earthquakes worth it. Now, well, all those have pictures are like silent movies, part of history. Thank you for making the first day of 2022 one worth revisiting.
