Lived my whole life in BH. Love this place. But you did forget to include Los 5 Puntos.

Nice video 👍

I used to go cruising in la pacific in 1980

Thank you so much for creating this video about my hometown 🥲

I moved to LA in 2020 and began working at an industrial site in Vernon, not far from where Vernon Ave actually curves and becomes Pacific. I would go down to HP all the time after work for food. I also enjoy smoking cigars and there was a guy in Huntington Park who didn’t just have a tobacco shop, he was like a Nicaraguan guy I think and he imported the tobacco and cured and rolled them in his own shop so all his smokes were his blending, I used to go down to buy from him a lot. Then I moved closer to Norwalk and haven’t been back for awhile I think my wife’s parents lived in HP for a short period of time when they first moved from Mexico in the 80s, but they ended up buying a house in Compton and are still there now.

It's truly fascinating, thank you for the informative video.

I grew up in Downey( in the 70’s) but I don’t remember this at all🤔

Chadbertos and Kylebertos

Love Van de Kamps Bakery goods since childhood (I'm 70) the heir to the Vons/ Van de Kamps, Fred, was a personal friend of my eldest brother and our family ❤😊

I'm new to the channel. Thanks for the history lesson of Boyle Heights foods. I'm looking forward to your other videos.

Reminds me of travel town in los Feliz ca the trains

What a shame that all those beautiful buildings were demolished 😑 😢 Interesting to hear about Route 6 Great video

OMG! I used to go here in the 1980s and never forgot it! I've been telling people about this amazing place my whole life! I moved away but will make a point of visiting the next time I'm in town.

It's the billboards that impressed me as a kid. I begged my parents to stop there just because of the signs. I somehow imagined Ha-Pea & Pea-Wee were waiting for me there! That sign still makes me smile. Never went as a kid, but did get to visit as an adult in the 1980's. For me, the signs along the way are still the best part of the experience because they remind me of family vacations in the 1960s.

My wife and I enjoy going to King Arthur’s antique store. You can see the history of it inside

Temple City location - there was a Steak Corral in Temple City - we were next to Arcadia - there from about 1980 to 1986 - we all loved it

Thank you for another great video. I've lived in Riverside for 35 years and never knew about the Agua Mansa Pioneer Cemetery. My son and I love going down to San Diego for their ghost tour of The Whaley House, Campo Santo Cemetery and Pioneer Park which used to be Calvary Cemetery. It's a beautiful park but most don't know there are over 3000 graves under the green grass. We will be sure to visit the Agua Mansa cemetery just a few minutes north of our house.

A combination of historic sites and the paranormal? Yes, I'm here for it! I've been to many historic sites around southern California, but none of the ones you mentioned, so it was an interesting watch. Great video!

Hey there, thanks for another vid! Appreciate these! Watching now. Edit: Just finished, great stuff, man. Makes me appreciate even more where I grew up. Well done presentation.

Being Blunt/Forward/Honest with my assessment of this place: While in the area I had to try the “OG SPOT Roberto’s Taco Shop #1.” I purchased the #4 Which was two Beef Crispy Corn Tortillas tacos with rice & beans (Combo plate). The presentation is missleading. The Meal was very Plain Jane, No Flavor Non Seasoned. Could’ve at least had salt & Pepper. Even the Hot Sauces was water down. So I ate here on 28 October 20124 for an early Dinner. Eat at Your Own Risk!

I love this parade and was fortunate to have worked with Kevin and Jody when I played Little Red Riding Hood for a few years in the parade. I hope to return to working the parade one day!

I grew up in National City. ROBERTOS Taco Shop is WHAAAAAAACK. That spot is so bland . The salsas are always bad.They will cause food poisoning . There’s SO much other better taco spots in San Diego .

Xlnt tamales aren't real tomales but have their own unique identity.

Roberto will always be a staple in San Diego especially my favorite one in North Park! I spoke to them about it and they gave me the history too.

Went back inside not that much buildings 😢

It is Iconic but the donuts are mid at best

I've never heard of this event, but glad I know about it now.

Once again, you're bringing me something new to marvel at. I never knew Anaheim had a long history of Halloween celebrations! When you said that the city axed the event to save $50,000, I thought, "The kids should have gone out and done $50,000 worth of damage just to educate them!" Another great video!

It looks like Foo's butthole

Too bad he didn’t mention the year it was built

I like how one donut shop became a pizza place. That seems fitting; sticking with round food fare. Seriously though, thanks for this slice of history, grew up nearby and remember the La Puente location fondly.

Omg i remember eating their coconut cake 💙 wish it was still in stores 😭😭😭

This history doesn’t tell one thing. The history. Who was the manager who built it? Who worked in it? What happened when people got laid off? How about the union busting Sears did. This video sucks.

Don't forget Alibertos and norbertos

My Favorite ,when i go i get 2 of them because the lines can get long .

As kid I lived close to the Arcadia location when it opened in 1964 and it was always a treat when my parents would take me there. The thing I liked best was at the end of the meal you got a scoop of ice cream that you could take to a "toppings" bar and add whatever you liked, (this is where I learned to add marshmallow cream to chocolate ice cream, an addiction that persists 60 years later). I visited the Whittier location about 20 years ago. The thing that struck me first was the (welcomed) smell inside was the same as I recalled from the Arcadia location!

I grew up in Maywood in the 1970s. One summer, when I was about 9, my madrina took her kids, my brother and I for two weeks of swimming lessons at Huntington Park High School. Coincidentally, the movie “Grease” was being filmed at the school. My friends and I got to see the “Hand Jive” portion of the movie get filmed.

Amazing video man! keep up the great work!!!

Awesome... can't wait...❤

I had a professor in college that wrote a book about this era in baseball. He ended up interviewing my family because my grandfather played. I feel so proud to be apart of a family that helped shaped that history. Thank you for posting this!!! Many do not know about this and should 😊

I’ve always been told never go to this park at night. I used to know someone that lived across the street and has many weird stories/encounters 😬

That Warners Theatre became a gym and the gym literally just closed down August 31 2024. The inside still looked super cool, they kept the cool architecture inside and outside. Great video man, HP is still kicking around! Need to open up more shops tho, gotta keep that "more shops than a shopping center" sign a reality!

I grew up just a couple of blocks from the Temple City restaurant. It was one of my favorite places growing up. I loved the baked potato tray you would take to your table with three smaller bowls of cheese sauce, and I think sour cream and bacon bits, or something those lines. Time to visit family in CA again! 😂😂😂

Tortas de pierna from the ice cream shop next to the plaza or 🔥

The Covina location, on Grand Ave, was the one I went to as a kid. We used to live off of Gladstone in Glendora, but my father played tennis at Mt. Sac, so it was along the way. Good times!

Make a vid on the hawthorne plaza!

Grew up going to Pacific. Fallas Paredes, for school uniforms. JC Penney for clothes, Deardens for furniture, Gallo Giro for tortas and 2x1 at the theatre

I live in Lynwood which this abandoned asylum is literally at the other side of the 710 freeway. I actually went there today and passed by haha. Heard a random fire burned down a building in 2022.. strange if you ask me.

I dont shop there because they charge for parking. Imagen that they charge you to go shopping! Remove the charging stations and people would shop there.

This video brings back memories of my youth, there was a Roberto’s on San ysidro Blvd and one of the originals on Broadway in Chula vista, it’s still there, the drive thru speaker is old and hard to hear and the inside is not gentrified but the FOOD is really good,
