Amazing. Please tell me you have more footage like this of the area stored away?

Karen M Settles destroyed the Summit Lake neighborhood.

Nice job!!!!! This is really cool... Thank You Sir....

Bill - I'm here in the crowd at :57. Top left just below the girl with blond pigtails and plaid shirt...you can only see the top of my head and part of my face. Can't believe you got this and you and I met a year later in '71.

Bill - I had no idea you had all this May 4 footage! And I just watched Kent State The Real Story (where I saw you interviewed!) and you caught me and my then boyfriend on camera @ 36:57. Just wow.

Before illegal aliens ruined it !

What song is starting to play at 2:20? I’ve heard it before but it’s been a loong time

sog

The one on the crutches is meeeeeeeeee

2:56 they shot Teen Wolf here!

Cool! I grew up on Pinewood near that huge tire on the right

YUHH BUBBY!! TRAP & DAWG ❤

It has always been a mecca for bikers, still a great place to live.

Lived in Sunland from 1966-91 at Mather Avenue and Fenwick. Corsica Delicatessen was and still is at the boulevard. Best pastrami sandwiches and quart glass bottles of Vernors ginger ale was my favourite. Grandparents owned a house on Langmuir right behind the drive in theatre, which later became Kmart. We would sneak in during the day and go to the back rows to turn up the volume on the speaker units that people would place on the drive side window, and grandma would make the local kids popcorn and koolaid, and we would watch the cartoons and Disney short movies before the more mature movie would come on. Dad worked for GTE at the corner of Woodward and Foothill BLVD, mom at Citicorp bank next to Vons supermarket. I, too once skateboarded at the Boogie Bowl, played golf at the now closed Verdugo pitch and putt golf course, and we would watch CHiPS being filmed on the new 210 freeway. Good times

I worked for the Kenley Players in 1987 when they were at the Civic.

It's not like that now you can't even find a parking spot my uncle was the police commissioner of Sunland and Tujunga before it was incorporated with LA

BRUTAL. The shooting lasted for 13 seconds. After the first 3 seconds the Students were running away with their backs turned completely from the “guard”. That means that they fired their weapons for 10 seconds into the backs of fleeing Students. Not to mention that 3 of the 4 that were killed were over 100 yards away and were not even involved in the protest. One was a ROTC Member. Ironically the majority of the “guard” that day joined to AVOID going to Vietnam. That was the one thing that both groups had in common.

It was beautiful.. sadly you’ll see illegals all over the streets now.

I lived in College Towers on the 6th floor corner apartment from 1973-74. Thanks for the post.

a very good band!

My Town for many years. It belongs to the Armenian Folks Now

No way!! I was born here!

THANK YOU! so nostalgic....great childhood memories.

Simpler times back then :) Remember watching a few movies at the Rainbow Theatre. Bought and Mustang (which I still own) from Sunrise Ford. Great video!

So few pictures exist of Summit pre-renovation. Was very excited to find this!

I lived in the Verdugo hills cemetery from 88 to 97. My father was the caretaker. Cemetery was condemned due to a flood years prior. Childhood memories nostalgic for sure. I'm 43 now and it seems like a lifetime ago. Thank you for this video

Unbelievable that probably a few months before this footage was made, exactly in this beautiful area two sick monsters were driving around in their van and looking for their nex victim , Lynette Ledford , tortured and killed her the most brutal way you can imagine, close to Foothill BLVRD RIP little girl! May your soul fly......

Thank you for this video. Ive lived in TX since 2004. Grew up in Tujunga before the move. I miss my town. I used to go back every year and it's changed so much. I grew up on Valmont, a block from Tommy's. Great memories.

Rudy's Ben Pot! Used to go see the cars there with my pops. Shame Sunland Tujunga is just a bunch of automotive shops, pot shops and abandoned buildings now.

Thank you! I was born in 87 and lived on Sunland Boulevard in shadow Hills. Had family all over. So many great memories watching this. Please post more of you have it!

Those was the days

I grew up here. Lived on Day st.. it was nice then.

love you sunland for making me

Fascinating 8mm footage of this tragic event in our nation's history William. I've only seen short snippets of this film. Amazing considering it seems you were in the Prentice Hall parking lot while the shooting started, thus, also putting yourself in the "random" line of fire that day. Do you have any photo stills from that day prior to the shooting?? What in god's name led, or, misled these men into firing their weapons indiscriminately into a crowd of people??? I believe that is John Filo at :55 seconds standing close to where he was standing when he took the famous photo of Jeffrey Miller. That's also Allison Krause being carried on a stretcher at 1:47 and being consoled by her boyfriend Barry Levine in the dark jacket. It's amazing watching most of the students wandering around after this event looking as if they don't really comprehend what just happened, or, know what to do or where to go. II always founded it bizarre that Mary Ann Vecchio is ONLY 14 years old here. The student smearing his flag in the blood of Jeffrey Miller's and franticly slapping it on the ground in a fit of rage is quite understandable. I've never seen the footage of the troops afterwards marching and forming a circle down on the commons. What were they doing?? One could site many reasons as to why this tragedy occurred on both sides going back to events of Friday, May 1st, but, one thing is for certain, on May 4th The Ohio national guard was grossly and poorly led. If they had just stood down, let there presence and strength be shown, and just let the students have their rally of raising their middle fingers and shouting verbal obscenities at the guard, my guess is that the rally would have fizzled out in less than an hour and no tragedy would have occurred. It's unfortunate you don't have the sound of Professor Glenn Frank giving his passionate plea to the students to disperse and leave for this short film. Just hearing him scream, "JESUS CHRIST I DON'T WANNA BE A PART OF THIS!!" shakes me and brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it in a documentary. I recently watched the 1980 made for TV dramatization on the shootings and the gentleman who portrays Glenn Frank gives a rather weak interpretation of Frank's words that day. .

Tujungle

May God bless him and keep him 😓

I was living in Sunland and Tujunga during the 80s. Thanks for the memories. BTW, at 2:55 is a liquor store used in the movie Teen Wolf.

I have studied this incident for 46 years and I have never seen this footage. This is like the Zapruder film for the Kent State tragedy. I certainly hope this has been given to the school archives.

I used to live up one of those streets shown above the sign that once announced one was entering Tujunga, at the start of the video. I recall traveling carnivals with small rides being set up on the vacant lot that became Ralphs. I also remember watching water dropping fire-fighting choppers landing to refill there when there was a huge fire (I had thought 1975, but Google suggests the Mills Fire of 1975). After watching George Hamilton as "Evel Knievel" on television, I stepped outside to see ashes "snowing" in my backyard. I also fondly remember my Evel Knievel action figure stunt cycle that one could rev-up and send darting towards imminent danger and heroic glory.

Akron Ohio a great place to leave

Never been there, but it's nice to see videos of places back in the good old days. I was 20 in 1980. I think I got this video in my feed because of the cemetery that collapsed back in 1978. I was looking up information on it.

It looks greener to me

Wow too cool.. I lived all over Sunland tujunga as a kid between prob 1976ish through 1982.. went to pinewood elementary & Mt Gleason like lots of other posters.. Things I remember.. my first kiss!! U were the best Suzy.. u made my whole childhood just that much more wonderful .. sorry y’all prob TMI 😆 Other things I remember.. Rainbow Theater.. Sunland Park.. that had that 32story Rocket ship in the playground area.. ok maybe it wasn’t that big but when you’re a child you kno how it goes. Ran into herve villechaize from fantasy island a couple x & still have a picture with him. My buddy had a small part on knots landing (Chad) My other buddy’s Dad was the mechanic for JAWS.. & got blown up by jaws one day in a freak accident & nearly blew his leg off. My mom once dated Vic Morrow. All of us neighborhood kids went trick or treating at the ET house.. I’m sure everyone remembers that.. well thanks for letting me share a piece of my California childhood. ✌️😎

Amazing

I lived in Sunland from 1974-1990!! This is exactly how I picture Sunland-Tujunga in my minds eye. Thank you so much for posting video of my beloved childhood town!

St Hilarys in Fairlawn but no shot of skyway across the street...cmon!

Had my first date there in 1979 at the movie theater. I love in LA now but I'm glad that mall is still around. Probably because of its location and it isn't too big. Many great memories

1:04 used to be called the Hilltop Theater way back in early 70's

I was hoping to see the Boogie Bowl, anyone remember that? Mom used to drop us off way up near La Crescenta and my buddies and I would skateboard all the way down Foothill Blvd to home near Sunland Park. Those days were amazing, we lived there from 76-80. Playing video games at Foothill Music, wow, good times. I still take the exit once in a while when near Sunland, and reminisce.
