    Brought back some good memories, its been awhile since I've been back to socal. Now living in Southern Indiana, I use to go all the time, started back in the 80s going with my best friend and his brothers to go sell stuff. Back them we would take off on the mini bikes and check stuff out. Thanks for the cruise down memory lane🙂

    This has really made my day! So many fond memories of Pomona swap meet for me as well. My parents used to take me there in the late 70's to early 80's. One i thing I noticed in your video, where's the drive in theater screens at? That place you could watch a movie there as well. One thing I'll always remember that happened at the swap meet was when I saw my first sun lunar eclipse in the sky. We were leaving the swap meet in my father's Chevy Luv pickup when the sun got blocked out by the moon. Turned into night time for a few minutes. So many fond memories of that place. My father would show me what to look for in street rod parts as he would be bringing more "stuff" home. Its a great place to educate youngsters in learning how to negotiate too! Also at the 9:42 min in video, I see Pinks in the background. In Hollywood, I would go there to get a hot dog. Good food. Man, this is just bringing up such good memories. Thank you for this! This really made my day!
