    I was born in the 60's and remember when orange county was orange groves. You could smell the orange blossoms, and smell cookies from the Nabisco plant. California was magical in the 60's and 70's.

      I live in LA in the mid Fifties left and return to Orange County in the Sixties. It was paradise on earth back then. The LA area was booming with aircraft companies. I was there for satellite communication. The Sunday Times was full of want ads begging for all kinds of engineers and technicians. Orange County was not named after oranges for nothing. I think that Disneyland was built over orange groves. A beautiful house in Irvine cost $74,000.

    My dad moved from Kansas to the San Fernando Valley in 1957. When I would ask him what it was like when he moved there, he said, "paradise." This video gives a taste of what he probably experienced when he came here. It's not like this anymore, sadly. Still an amazing place but crushed by terrible politics and policy.

      There's no way it's worse than Kansas. The Sunflower State has been wrecked by terrible policy. Politicians tore apart our education system over the last decade, and our infrastructure is at a breaking point. Wichita's main water facility is 80 years old and about to give out. Public transit is all but non-existent. If only California wasn't so expensive, I'd move in a heartbeat.

      I grew up in the San Fernando Valley in the 50's and 60's.
      Your dad is right. It was paradise!
      Not too many tract homes had started, so you still had orange groves all over. The fragrance of orange blossoms permeated the valley.
      There were no Fwys. If you wanted to get out of the Valley, it was either Ventura Blvd or San Fernando Road to the North, Sepulveda Blvd to the South and Route 66 to the East.
      There was even a popular song that came out during WW II about the San Fernando Valley.
      It was sung by Bing Crosby.
      It truly was a great place to live and grow up as a kid.
      During the hot summer nights, we'd play baseball in the street, then go over to a neighbor's house and swim in their pool.
      Then (get this) walk back to your home at midnight by yourself!
      Man. Today you as child would be put in Foster care and your parents would be arrested for such negligence.
      It was so beautiful and a wonderful time to be a kid growing up in "The Valley".

      I don't think you would have liked CA in the 90s, at least not SoCal. I experienced the tail end of the era that made CA livable and a joy to visit and live in the early 70s to early 80s (but L.A. was not safe or desirable anymore by then). NorCal was still livable in the 90s but SoCal took a quick dive in the mid 80s and it got worse in the 90s. That's about the time grunge and cRap became popular and music and the arts declined enormously. The homeless look also became popular in the 90s. Matter of fact, after I rented a car and drove throughout Western Europe in 1990 for a month, I immediately experienced culture shock when I returned to *lovely* SoCal. SoCal began its downfall after the early 60s but it wasn't readily apparent. My paternal grandparents arrived in the L.A. area during the mid 1900s or early 1920s, and my dad grew up there from 1935 to the early 60s. You can imagine the heartbreaking stories I heard from them. The neighborhoods my dad was raised in are slums😢

    And hundreds of thousand of US visitors still keep coming (and staying). Mostly to get away from the shitty weather everywhere else. Even those with the negative comments. Don't kid yourself. Its still a beautiful state. All large cities have the same problems but there is plenty of wide open spaces, gorgeous beaches, beautiful forest and national parks like Yosemite, Redwood, Sequoia and Joshua Tree. Yes its expensive so its difficult to make the move west to enjoy the lifestyle. But you can still visit. Bring your money and have a great time. And the next time you enjoy milk or milk products, a tasty roasted almond or a great bottle of delicious wine, just to name a few products, remember where they came from.

    Been to California 3 times and LOVE the state. It has everything and we will be returning again one day. Last time we were there, in 2017, we were very surprised by the attention we got with regard to Trump - what did we think of him (as Brits)? We said he was your president, not ours, so it didn't matter what we thought and had no opinion either way. So many times the conversation quickly turned to rabid anti-Trump vitriol and because we didn't join in with the Trump-bashing (again, not our president so we had no axe to grind), we often got a very cold, angry reaction - I remember one really sweet elderly lady at a hotel in Ventura. We had been speaking to her for about half an hour and she was so friendly and warm, then she asked what we thought of Trump, you know, being Brits? Again, we were non-committal either way (we had got used to this line of questioning by then!). As we didn't join in and agree with her view, we couldn't believe how she turned from being a sweet old lady into a rabid, foaming at the mouth, heart-rupturing, vein-throbbing, eye-bulging, blood-spitting, aneurysm encouraging LUNATIC!! It was astonishing! We had many events like this - similar thing happened in a hotel when the receptionist asked us the same thing. Again, we made little comment and before we knew it, she launched into a tirade of abuse towards Trump. She even ended by basically throwing the room keys across the counter and reminding us to CHECK OUT AT 10am!! Jesus, we hadn't said a word! But we got our own back - we decided later to tell her that Trump was looked upon very favourably back in England and that, on reflection, he was clearly a better choice than THAT woman. She was essentially speechless. So we'd go back, but would do our best to avoid talking to the people as much as possible as overall, we found them very uptight, quite rude and OBSESSED with money - and I mean TOTALLY OBSESSED!! They wanted a tip to allow us to breathe!!!

    I grew up in the San Fernando Valley starting in 1996 at the age of four when we moved there. Although it was far gone already from what is shown in this video, I did get to witness the further degradation of LA County over the course of my residence there.
    When I was a boy there were still various orange groves and open spaces to explore in the neighborhood in Woodland Hills where we lived, and the stretch of Ventura Blvd between Topanga Canyon and Tampa was home to small businesses and various undeveloped plots. What was shown in the video looks like paradise, but I still look fondly on Woodland Hills in the 90s.
    In the 20 years that I lived there, the $125k home my parents bought is now going for $750k, all the schools have a majority of their students bussed in from downtown, and there isn’t a shred of natural land left on Ventura blvd. The overpopulation is overwhelming. At 23 I moved out to Valencia to experience a better quality of life. I’m now married with two kids and can’t imagine having them grow up in the valley. But even now I can see Valencia and Santa Clarita getting consumed by overpopulation and poverty.
    When you have a place as geographically diverse and majestic as Southern California eventually it will get overrun and run dry of its resources. Since I refuse to assimilate into the society LA has constructed, it wouldn’t surprise me if I moved out of state altogether within the next 10 years.
    I’m really glad to see people in these videos enjoying the land and the society built around it in its prime.

    This video is almost 80 years old! It's interesting how some things have changed (oil and mining are not as prominent in the state's economy anymore), while others remain the same (California continues to be the agricultural leader of the nation). And it's interesting that we still understand the language of 80 years ago so clearly, given how these things change over time. But what's most interesting of all is just how different the West Coast is from the rest of the country. A dynamic and prosperous region, simpler and less pretentious than the wealthy East, wiser and more egalitarian than the backward South, and more economically resilient than the struggling Midwest. The video mentioned that California could exist as a self-sufficient "empire" if need be, and that's still true today. All the nation and indeed all the world benefits from California's bounty and productivity.

    As a native born in 1960 watching this just breaks my heart. This state was an absolute paradise. It was a place that epitomized the American dream where anyone could move here from other parts of the country and get a good job right away, buy a home and raise a family in clean, safe towns and cities. It was not only the best state in the country but the best place in the entire world. Nothing could compare to it. Now its ruined all in a space of fifty years by out of control third world immigration. The porous border with Mexico has swamped us with uneducated, unskilled peasants, gangs and illegal drugs. Plus the politics have swung from conservative and often Republican (think Ronald Reagan) to left wing Democrat who have such a majority in Sacramento they can do any stupid thing they want unchallenged. Yeah, watching this makes me very sad for what's happened to my home.

Love Is full of knowledge yet even the smart don't get it. Love doesn't cost a fortune yet fortunes are spent trying to gain it. Love does demand of you yet you are not willing to sacrifice for it. Those who only seek what love can give and do for them, do nothing for love and others and in such selfish pursuit, in turn rob themselves of love's best gift. Make this year the year you seek to sow love and not just reap it. Be love and not just think it. Do love and not just say it. Talk love and just don't fake it. Seek love and just don't chase it. Embrace it but don't enslave it, share it but don't dare boast in it. Enjoy it but don't abuse it. Free it and watch it come back. Invest in it and watch it pay back. Wash your life in it, light your darkness with it, eat your food with it conduct your business with it and above all else Serve God in it. For whatever love is and is not, it's all of, for and From Him. He is LOVE! "
