My History

One of the most amazing things about Los Angeles is the capacity for change as well as stability. While we were in California last weekend I had the opportunity to visit my father’s childhood home as well as the home my great grandparents lived. He used to have a pathway he took from his house to theirs. Their backyards nearly backed up against each other. We took a back alley between Curson and Sierra Bonita, an alley my dad would go down as a child to see the fire alarm boxes that used to line the streets.

The whole adventure was facinating, just to hear about the family history was amazing. My great grandfather would always wear a three piece suit. Even to the beach. It’s 26 miles from the house my father grew up in to the house his parents bought on the beach front in Malibu.

I think next time we go we’ll have to bring Sir Luke‘s HD fancy pants camera and film a mini doc about the whole thing.
