THIS... is cool. (http://www.acontinuouslean.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/2868164131_a77f48fb11_b.jpeg) One for the VW and two for the area... my all time favorite eatery is just behind the building next to the water tower. Harbor House Cafè has been there since 1939. And the tower was torn down awhile back but a tower shaped house resides in it's spot to this day. I also surf straight out from that tower, which is Anderson St. off of Pacific Coast Hwy. The old Seal Beach pier shots are also awesome. My entire bathroom has nothing but pictures from that era of Huntington, Seal, and Long Beaches and their roller coasters, and pleasure piers. All sepia toned, of course.

I bought a butt-load of candy at Sutton's while walking to Washington Elementary School in the late '50's.
Here's a cool link on The Buffalo Ranch from back in the day that I recently stumbled across. Not mentioned is that after the demise of the Ranch, Merle's Drive In set up shop at that location and became a destination for hot cars (they had car hops out back, too 8)). http://www.yesterland.com/buffalo.html http://www.octhen.com/2007/12/merles-drive-inn-pacific-coast-highway.htm |
