Amazing clarity and definition. Thank you I was a teen in the 80s but it sure brings good memories ❤️
I remember in the 80's when the end of the pier washed away with the restaurant in a huge El Nino type storm. It floated several hundreds yards out to sea and sank. They sent divers down to retrieve all the dishes and utensils and other equipment.
I was fishing on the pier that night... we almost got washed off the pier when the waves started to come over the end. After the Life Guards evacuaed the pier we stood at the entrance and watched it get destroyed as the waves got bigger and bigger.
This is the HB I remember I was in my early 20's.
Yep - more nights at the lare, great Golden Bear than I could count from the late 70's on - Plimsouls, Patti Smith, Ramones, Blondie, Cheap Trick - just a very small sampling.
Tore the heart out of the town when that fabled pile of bricks fell.
Same here. I was an El Toro Marine. Lots of great times.
Me too I was in my early 20's. The Golden Bear, the Quaint shops and the easy vibes of that time
Right there with you
In the late 60s we'd ride our bikes down Highway 39 from Whittier to Huntington Beach. We'd always stop at Knott's for a corn on the cob dipped in butter for 15 cents. Best corn I ever ate. When I started driving I got my surfboard at the Huntington Beach surfboard shop and learned to surf. Even though I now live 150 miles for the Pacific Ocean I still have my board.
You lived the best Southern California life
I was there in the 80s. Warm water and uncrowded surf.
I was 16 in 1980. I used to surf HB every now and then. But the really happening spots were 32nd street in NB, 34th street volleyball, and 36th street. Surfing the jetties on big west swells on hot days in clear water was the best. 👍🏄♂️
i got vidoe of 1958 of Huntington beach
These vids r great, reminds me of my time growing up in Sydney & the Goldie 80s 90s & noughties, cheers mate.
Thank you for your comment. Glad it brought back some memories. Cheers!
I remember when those condos west of PCH north of the pier were built.
Remember when that cookie cutter housing development and strip mall bordering the west side of Meadowlark Golf Course was Meadowlark Airport?
1:22 17th street and the original Huntington Surf and Sport with Jan's Health Food in the front (booths overlooking the ocean). Place was apparently a juke joint where the oil riggers hung out after work in the 40's and 50's...
Smokey Joe’s was jazz club, my friends dad would play there.
Looks the same except for the oil rigs on the beach.
🤔🤔 I suppose this lil area looks pretty close from the view shown. But there was a sand path portion shown that's now paved and there was no Ruby's building on the pier.
I was only a year old 😳 I wonder what year they took down those utility poles on the beach front, because growing up in the 90’s I never saw them
Look at all those new cars
I’m looking for me!
Me Too.
Just such a different time altogether and Fountain Vally was empty.
1:40 Pumping oil right on the beach????
You guys are fortunate to have grown up there, i always wanted to live by the beach and surf. Instead i had to settle swimming in canals, and skateboarding and slamming on 100 plus degree concrete. Fun childhood but i used to dream of living on the beach. Also...What is wrong with the poor guy at 2:48?
The guy at 2:48 just looks to collapse after battling some waves awhile
@@lastnamefirst4035 Ok makes sense.😀
He’s playing paddle ball with the guy on the left, and just dug out a low ball. (Or tried to 😅)
When I was kid back in the 60's my dad would ask if we want to go to the the beach and we would say No if it was Tin Can Beach, ie Huntington State Beach sound of Sunset Beach, that beach was filthy. You would cut the bottom of your foot from pull tops and burn your feet from cigarettes
In my 70s early childhood , I think those pull tops were gone on cans, or close to it. They seem dangerous. Seeing cigarettes in the sand seems old-school too. Lol
Yup, Bolsa Chica was a lot cleaner back then. We didn't go to the beach often, but when we did, we usually went to Bolsa Chica, instead of the city beach.
@@drh3b Back when?
@@Moondoggy1941 In the Seventies and late Sixties. I do remember the tabs, I think the Seventies is when the modern way of tabs was invented. I was born in Santa Monica. I grew up in Westminster a few hundred feet from HB, just off Heil and Newland/Beach Blvd. Somebody did a driving tour of the area from a year or two ago, it's interesting how so much has changed, and how some hasn't. All the fast food places near Heil are still there over 50 years later, same with Beach Blvd Dodge. Where Target is was still a farm. Most, but not all of the buildings are gone. The intersections at Beach Blvd and Newland are different because there were two different small horse farms, one at each corner. But, except at the corner of Newland and Heil, all the houses had been built by then. I moved to the Midwest with my family as a teenager in 1979, and haven't been back since.
@@drh3b Cool, I remember learning to boogie board at Seal Beach, and then worked our way down to the cliffs, usually went to Sunset Beach less people and free parking. I grew up in Cypress. Like you said most of the buildings are still there they just have different businesses in them, the old liquor stores are still there in Seal Beach, one was used in the movie Lords of DogTown. Lots of really good times back then, fun all around. We used to eat at that Jack In the Box at Sunset Beach.
This is not 89, not sure what year it is but its earlier than 89 id say
🌊Surf🏄🏼♂️City🌊🤙🏻
Blufftop park looked green and clean.Too many people now.
amazing
Where's Ruby's? New pier before the restaurant was built.
Man I gotta get back too HB again and ride the bike trail, I saw the old Taco Bell that's not there anymore and those coming apartments, came ! 👣🌊CITY
Brand new bike path being built right now along the cliffs.
I miss that Taco Bell on 9th Street
No dog beach 😢 the pier fell from a storm. We have a new pier now.
I was hoping there was gonna be filming a surfer rip
Hold the damn camera still.
Today the bluff walking path is getting a remodel.
Get me Penguin's😂😂
Things for your head and Taco Bell....

HB is a yuppie town now. Born and raised there.
Remember when that that crowded cookie cutter housing development bordering Meadowlark Golf Course to the west was Meadowlark Airport?
getting dizzy watching this.
Dunbar and Warner
Much better days! HB sucks nowadays.....tourists,kooks,housewives in the water. Bring back localism!!

Those condos behind you were built in the early 90s.
