Yes, we lived right on the harbor in Corona del Mar for many years.

Pelicans came flying over our heads on the balcony. I loved it there.

What a wonderful place to live. We have seen pelicans in Marina del Rey, super cool.

I also lived in Marina del Rey for many years.
Loved it.

It was fun to walk from Marina del Rey to Santa Monica on the Venice Beach boardwalk.

Crazy scene, even in the late 70’s.

Mostly homeless tents on the beach in Venice now. 😢

That is quite the track record in California marina living, DR Iris!

My one claim is having the address 330 The Village, Redondo Beach for three years, 1982-85. I looked out on the Pacific from my living room window, and was steps away from the Redondo Pier, just south of King Harbor. I didn't know how good I had it.

Yes, a nice area to walk. I usually parked in Santa Monica and walked from there. We used to go to the pier and spend a lot of time at the pier.

I enjoyed living in the Los Angeles area (though not on the water!) from when I was 3 until I was 8.

We took camping vacations all over the southwest.

Speaking of bird watchers, don't they sometimes miss the obvious?

Joking.

Chas!
I also lived at The Village in Redondo Beach!
It would have been from around 1979-1981.
Rode my bike down that bike path every morning before going to work.

I rented someone’s condominium, so it was the 600 series.

Went to the pier quite often. Do you remember Tony’s On The Pier?

DR Iris · « **Reply #164 on:** February 13, 2023, 06:51:46 PM »

I see it’s still there.
Now known as “Old Tony’s on the Pier”.
Good times.

I have lived in over 10 locations in Southern California, always near the beach.

Jane, I lived on Ocean Ave. in Santa Monica from 2009-2011.

Walked down to the pier every day. Also walked on the beach from Santa Monica to Malibu.
Lots of dolphins closer to Malibu.

The carousel where Paul Newman worked in The Sting was filmed on that pier.

Still there.

DR Iris · « **Reply #167 on:** February 13, 2023, 07:00:30 PM »

Feeling nostalgic.

Good night, HHW.

Still there.

And where Night Tide (1961) was filmed.

I loved riding my bike from PV to SM and everywhere in between.

In earlier days I'd even ride it out from BH, cruise the whole bike path. and then ride it back home. I'd love riding one, now, but that's unimaginable.

DR Iris · « **Reply #170 on:** February 13, 2023, 07:17:17 PM »

It was much less crowded on that bike path in the 70’s.

I do miss California, but I don’t miss the traffic and the careless drivers…much worse now with everyone driving and texting at the same time.

Almost was run over many times on Ocean Avenue from 2009-2011. Scary. And I was very careful with the lights and crosswalks.

Received a package in today's mail. Thanks, DR George!

You're very welcome, Kevin! I also sent packages to John, Vixmom, Larry, ChasSmith and Tom. Hopefully, they all get theirs soonly, too!

Mine arrived today. Thank you, kind sir.

Sadly, several of my friends in New York have been almost hit by e-bikes this year.

It’s out of control.

John, interesting about Jimmy Carter!

I’m an avid birder, and would have had no problem delighting in both species!

Lots of boating expeditions in Newport Beach and Dana Point focused on whales and dolphins.

Ditto.
