Omg I jog on this stretch from 36th to the pier pretty often now in 2023 and it’s so interesting to see 1. The water reach where I would be swept away and 2. How the skyline has changed. I had no idea there were apartments there! Now where those apartments were is probably the road. Or the bars. Crazy how times change. This is a really cool time capsule for a lot of things

Brings back memories. I think it was 1980, and a photo was in the newspaper showing a guy paddling his kayak in front of my parents beach house on Balboa Boulevard.
Wow. I live for stuff like this ( displaced New Englander) Once upon a time I was driving 1A north in Hampton Beach NH, awesome late fall nor'easter blowing, lunar high tide, there was a traffic jam at the north end of the sea wall of crazies like me lining up for waves, I mean green water, coming up over the wall and over your car. It was wild, literally a ton of sea water hitting your car, the smell of salt water coming thru the car vents. Yeah I made three runs thru that with Aine Minogue on WGBH radio with Brian O'Donovan talking about Samhain and the return of the light in December. Or Provincetown harbor with the waves stopping 6 feet from George's Pizza back door.
For two or three years I visited "Japanese Village and Deer Park" with a day camp during the summer. I vividly remember being thirsty and hot as hell, seeing gorgeous koi fish swimming around in ponds, and lots of people playing noisy pachinko machines (that subsequently may have been sold for a low price at The Akron).
Six Flags bought this place, closed it down & proceeded to euthanize over 200 faultless innocent deer before the public outcry ended the murdering. For this reason my family never went to ANY Six Flags parks after that. FT!
All coastal areas, especially Calif beaches are in big, BIG trouble. Glacier melt spells real unstoppable problems for 10s of millions of residents in years to come!
