- Another edited film that was shot by my grandfather's friend. It starts out at the Mann Chinese theater on Hollywood Blvd. There's a shot of the Capitol Records building and some nice shots of Beverly Hills and the beach. Also includes footage from Farmer's Market, San Diego, the Mexican border, and then back home to Widsor Hills, where my grandmother carries her groceries to the car from Von's. The music is Dick Dale's, "Let's Go Trippin'"
How cool that time & place looks. When I was a kid I asked my mum if we could go on holiday in England one day. She explained that's where I lived & it was America that was in all the films on the TV. I had been convinced I was living somewhere like on this video! I was only 4. JaniceSoprano you're so lucky!
love these old 8s
❤ Cool Footage 😊
great, i wish i could visit LA sometimes in the 50ties
I was born and raised in the South Bay! Like SO-MANY have said here: LA WAS a Great place to be raised in the days depicted in this film! WHAT HAPPENED??!!! Without repeating it again and again. WE KNOW WHAT HAPPENED!!!! We really DO...!!!!!!!
@louisa1832 Scarred but LOVED that one-time Cyclone Racer ride. In 68 was a bit older and wanted to ride it for one last time but missed my opertunity as they were in the process of demolishing it, SHAME!!! Did find a FULL Cyclone Racer ticket roll and prised it for many years, but as a kid will do, lost it in tbe followin years...The Pike will always be dear to my heart, FOREVER: THE PIKE... RIP
PLEASE POST MORE!!! I BEG YOU!!
As we grow older unfortunatebeam, our brain much like an overfull hard drive needs to have some information removed to make room for new information. When we start looking for things from the past to toss out...we tend to forget the bad, and memorialize the good.
I remember the 60's well, I also remember the scare of the Zodiac Killer, Manson, Three assasinations of public figures, the Boston Strangler and the Hippy movement. Yes you are right, there was plenty of bad to temper the good.
Wow, it must have been fantastic, LA before it got ruined by overdevelopment and people. What a great time it must have been, even the cars were so much better.
Bullshit.
All you're doing is romanticising the past. Everyone who's nostalgic for some period always does that. Hell, I could say the same about when I was a child in the 90s--equally bullshit.
Btw, I highly doubt all the fun was that "clean" in 1940s, 50s, and ESPECIALLY 60s California.
Get real....thanks for listening.

@louisa1832 I second that Louisa! I sure do remember the Cyclone Racer and the Lauf In' The Dark funhouse. Them two puppets on the top kinna used to creep me out when I was a kid, LOL. Both were like jolly drunks or something, LOL. I rode the Cyclone only once in 65, I was five. I remember being sandwichedin between my Uncle and his girlfriend. I remember not being able to see to much going up the chain lift!!! And not being able to reach the bar so felt as if was gonna fall out!
Yeah..the Stomp ruled. And then there was the Twist(Chubby Checker).People were just happier before the war.Hey,Janice..did you get a chance to make it to any studio dance shows(Lloyd Thaxton,etc)...and do you remember the very last dance show in LA- KHJ's "Groovy"-on the south side of SM pier on Fri. afternoon?
1958 was the year I moved to LA when I was 7. Gidget had not been released yet. Remember Dick Dale's "Let's Go Trippin" on KFWB channel 98.
I just love all the hateful messages on here, I am 50 and hope I don't become so resentful at 70. I am just enjoying these images, nothing stays the same forever. People come and go rather quickly so instead of posting "liberals ruined it" and blah blah just look at these great vids and enjoy them.
Dam! How Awesome! I wish I could have seen it back in the dayzz! Before my time tho! I was born and raised here in So Cal, and underneath it all, it's still the same! Even w all the B.S. its still Home Sweet Home! :):):)
Just back from 10 days in LA with the wife & kids. We loved it!! Such a cool place. Would have been nice to see LA in the 50's but wasn't born till 1962. Must be great to live there.

I grew up there in Los Angeles, and I do not remember hearing this song until around 1961. Anybody remember precisely when it did come out? It and "Miserlou" rocked my world in 61-62.
Hmmm, well I kinda like the hippie movement actually :)
Wow unbelievable footage! Nelson Riddle was probably in the Capitol Records Tower that day recording with Peggy Lee :o)
The music just takes me right back to that time...like it was only yesterday....I can see myself dancing the night away...!
Born: 1960. Santa Monica. St. John's Hospital. Remember POP and The Pike?!! Great Mom and Pop Amusment parks...
Sad how we've allowed the world to get from this to how it is now; and so relatively quickly. I know, of course, that there were a universe full of inequalities, injustices, bigotries and hypocrisies in action at this period of time and that some inroads have been made in the previous 50 years or so towards addressing these; but, things did look a lot prettier then. No era is entirely without merit and, in a pre JFK assassination world, things certainly looked a lot more optimistic. Seeing footage like this always makes me think of the scene in Back To The Future as Marty Mcflie disappears from a street in the 50s then re-appears in the blink of an eye in the same street in the 80s.
Surfing Stomp? Like Nancy Sinatra but while doing "swim"hands?
Something like that?
Sweet. But lately those '50s cars are starting to creep me out. Go figure. Great surf piece BTW.
Great vid almost like being there....Oh how those days seemed alot simpler...Thanks for posting.
juscurious, so what? I grew up in the 90s/00s and I lived in clean, non-violent, virtually no crime, non-rich neighbourhood. As far as I know, people lived good, respectful, clean lives (as in there were no crime related to people feeding a drug habit, for instance. But I, nor do you, actually know just how "clean" people's lives are, do we.) I went to good schools...everything you said you had, I had too, as did MANY other people of my generation. So what r u sayin? Not much, imho.
Same in,the 80s no place is,crime free 10,year old spotted
if only time could have stood still. Thank you so much for posting this!
The city is so different now. Yet a few things are the same.
Hello, My name is Daisy and I am working with an editor, Rick Tejada-Flores, on a documentary and we were interested in this footage. Do you own this footage, if not where did you get it? Is there a high quality version available and if so in what format? Thanks!
Daisy Tenorio Yes. I own this footage. It was taken by my grandfather. I don't think that the original is much better than the file on RUclips. Thanks. DK
Is there a possibility we can attain this footage in the file you have it?
Let me have your email, and I will contact you privately. Thanks.
Tenoriodaisy (at) gmail.com, thank you!
I still like 1898 better for a number of reasons but 1958 was okay.
I would LOVE that Janice. Thanks!
Here I come.
@flippyflyer You speak the truth.
first cupple notes sounded like 'psycho' puddle of mud
Treasure! You should post as much of this as possible!
Thanks for the verification.

@DA90027 --- yeah!! why isn't enough to look at the video and think - that was cool. No need for political diatribe. It was just a neat video.
