The 22nd Anniversary Nostalgia Tour – SoCal, 2021

“Puttin’ the fun in dysfunctional since 1999!” A lot of that fun happened in Santa Monica, the first stop on our lil’ vacation to SoCal. Not only were we able to use the Georgian Hotel‘s beach cruisers to peddle down to Venice, but we were able to see three of my ol’ buddies. First up, just a taste of Santa Monica, our old apartment on 4th St., and Dan’s bike collection, etc…

How ’bout a coupla clips from the beach? Still down, not back…

From Santa Monica we went to see Uncle Jimmy at the Village Green, then to North Hollywood (the Ag Area is looking good, and Ian Garrett’s mural is still on the wall! [I painted that bathroom once myself, but it looks much better now])…

From North Hollywood to Riverside and the Mission Inn Hotel. Take your time…

A walk around downtown, Tio’s Tacos, etc…

1375 Tareyton Drive! And a nice chat with Richard De Atley, a kind neighbor.

Riverside to Oceanside! Cousin Steve, Christina, & Freya! (a stop on the way, at Mission San Luis Rey)…

RandomVail… The 1st Congregational Church, statue of Booker T. Washington, more Mission Inn, the Municipal Auditorium, and Dan Leanse before & after…

…it must be the shirt…
