Well, some things change and some remain the same.

The old pool by Rat Beach.
There were no lifeguard shacks back in the day. The only visitors from Torrance were surfers and the cops somtimes at late night beach parties.
Distances seemed smaller but fairly steep hills... Used to cover a lot of territory on the StingRay bike! So much youthful energy.

No break at Haggerty's!
Traffic seems worse in Seattle!
