My favorite city in the world

😲 Oh my goodness! What a fantastic documentary! So glad I found you! 💖

A first-rate presentation, nicely narrated!

Thank you! Informational and interesting presentation. 👍Subscribed😊

I was born in Long Beach and raised in Lakewood, but have lived in Garden Grove & Fountain Valley since 1979. In the late 1950s I would sometimes go with my dad to San Diego via PCH. No I-5 at that time. When we got to the Bluffs of H.B., I remember the forest of oil derricks on the inland side of PCH. Very impressive. Mists of oil would sometimes coat the windshield of the car. ___ The 1933 Long Beach Earthquake was centered offshore of Huntington Beach. The shock waves traveled northwest along the Newport-Inglewood Fault into Long Beach & Compton where the most damage occurred.

My son lives there and I visit often. I like staying near one of the beaches. It is a very bikeable city and I rent a really nice e-bike for a few days but be careful of theft. Absolutely find a good seafood taco truck and make sure you hit it. They are on a whole different level and a great bargain.

Nice job!

I was a high school kid who spent a lot of time at Blacks in late 70's-early 80's, surfing and photographing surfers. One day in maybe '78 I was shooting with a tripod and between sets, heard some girls chattering behind me. I turned to see they were sunbathing at the base of the cliffs and small rocks started falling around them. They just had time to grab their towels and run towards the water just as a large section of the cliff collapsed right where they had been. Two massive boulders came down and I marveled as the largest one, about the size of my '68 VW bus, literally hit the sand and bounced before coming to rest. The whole event was over in 10-15 seconds. It made a spot on the beach that was hard to get around at high tide.

The best places in Huntington Beach are the Huntington Beach Pier Old World Village the Huntington Central Park along with Shipley Nature Center and the Huntington Beach Library along with the state beaches like Huntington State Beach Bolsa Chica State Beach 🏖️⛱️🏞️📖📕📗📘📙🌊🐚🥟

I live in HB and I think this video is pretty good. Some of this information I didn’t know especially all the info about the indigenous people.

Great walk through HB history. I took my wife to the Long board for our first date. I manages restaurants in Huntington Beach and knew Bruce and David. That is the oldest remaining building in Huntington Beach. Built in 1904 or five I think. The water tower house you showed is actually not in Huntington Beach, it’s in seal Beach but if you cross the street, you are in Huntington Beach Sunset Beach. It’s called or if you cross specific coast Highway you’re in peters Landing, which is also part of Huntington Beach still a great videothough.

The Spanish destroyed the natives.

Love this video and your work. 🎉

Didn’t Spanish bring Catholic religion? It said Christian 🤔

I met Mrs Slater

Killer fish Killer fish from san diego

San Diego was so beautiful before the Democrats turned it in to just another dump.

I remember going to “The Pike” as a kid.

I know the guy on the Harley. Dave Boyer

I want go 😔

Thanks!

Having grown up in the Southland I spent many a summer on the shores of Huntington, Seal and Bolsa Chica with forays to Laguna to fish off the rocks. I do remember in the early 60's after a trip to the beach my dad removing tar from the soles of his feet with gasoline. My dad was born in Hawthorne in 1928 so Im sure he did remember the oil derricks. My grandfather who came out here as early as 1903, though in Sacramento, worked for Southern Pacific. Moving to the Long Beach area in the early 20's worked for the Red Car, owned by SP. He Retired in 1941, moved back to the Sacramento area. This video struck home, thank you. Class of 1976, Norwalk.

You can't call yourself a surfer in Northern Huntington Beach if your bottom feets and your boards did not taint with oil residues.

The oil derricks wede an eye sore!

😭

Beach and Ellis since 1980! 💋

Went their last summer, complete Hispanic invasion,toilets aren't used, people zip their fly while lying on their side a urinate on the sand! Disgusting

i want one of those ponchossssssssssssssssssssss

It feels good to say I send many summers in the 60's and 70's at Huntington Beach. When ever I make it back down to Orange County, I always have to stop by. We hung out South of the pier near Joe's Hut which was close to lifeguard station 13. People from my high claimed that area. I can still see the air planes flying up and down the coast pulling the Coopertone Tan signs. I love the way the people there protect it, so happy to watch them run antifa out of there. They set a good example for the rest of us.

Ive spent countless hours bodysurfing, boogie boarding, and fishing the pier... actually good fishing off the pier. I grew up in the San Gabriel Valley couple blocks away from the 605 FWY. Ive read several anthropology books about the Native peoples of that area...what was found out by studying the skeletal remains was Southern Californias Native Population was the most war-like war prone population in the Americas! Great video... Eric Underwood Class of 81 Downey High School Downey California USA 👉 ♥️ 🇺🇲 🙏 🗽 🦅

My hometown!

I’m from Newport Beach and as a kid I have fond memories of climbing the wooden oil Derricks along the coast north Newport Beach and Huntington Beach….🤷‍♂️🤔😎👍

THANK U FOR THIS VIDEO!! I JUST THOUGHT HB WAS FAMOUS FOR SANCHOS TACOS!!!!! JKJKJK

Nice job explaining our city’s history, especially including the geology and the early native inhabitants.

I lived there for many years. Other than the beach it was a featureless expanse overrun with tract houses and shopping centers. It's basically suburbia in a sunny location. Going to the beach on bikes most every day is what made it a nice place to live. I was not aware which tribe lived there before the Spanish and Mexican conquest of the area. It's sad none of that history endured or was taught to us growing up there. The oil wells were always a stain on the area, and over the years we'd come out of the water with tar balls and trace oil deposits on our bodies and boards and sadly didn't think much of it. I always hated the oil industry for not transitioning to cleaner sources of energy much sooner. The air quality was horrible. Especially during Santa Ana conditions. We couldn't play outside without our lungs physically hurting with each breath. The only escape was sailing offshore and to Catalina. Although Catalina Island was overrun with too many boats and too many tourists. Community planning was just really poor in Southern California in general. So today there is not enough housing to support to the population, which makes the cost of living higher than it should be. And the dependance on freeways and cars is crappy. No good public transportation exists. The only positive transportation note are the acceptable bike lanes and sidewalks on most streets that make getting around on bicycles even today a very good way to stay in shape and make good time to and from different parts of town. Downtown HB was basically an overrun slum when I was young and was renovated over the years, so it got better, but was mostly a tourist trap. I'd say there are much better vacation destinations in So Cal so don't waste your time here. It was ruined when they stripped the land hundreds of years ago to turn it all into cattle ranches. Oh yeah, and Old Town always was weird and a cheaply built eye sore. I'm sure I might get some haters on my comments but in truth those people are likely just being nostalgic. Go a couple miles further South to Corona Del Mar, Laguna, Dana Point, San Juan and further down the coast and it's 100% nicer. Trust me.

Fantastic

Quite an enjoyable video. Even though I live in Anaheim right now, I have to say that Huntington Beach is the one town that I really love. I've spent 23 years of my life there in various parts of town. My family moved there a year after I finished high school in 1969. Being an older cat now, I do rideshare to make a living and I find myself in Huntington most days of the week. My favorite area now is Central Park over by the dog park and around Edwards Hill.

I've lived here for over 30 yrs. Pretty comprehensive history.. Pretty exacting too!!

Here's a Google map you can use to see the locations of all the places mentioned! www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1kANPMjWI5nc-rQZbbcKeoxDsioalk8U&usp=sharing

I have been live in Temecula for 3 years and it's a awesome city!

FYI: When in Newport it's imperative that you weigh in on the classic and neverending Frozen Banana vs. Balboa Bar controversy. Locals are fiercely proud of their particular favorite and will defend it to the bitter end.

Have you seen people from Los Angeles Orange County including Inland Empire at the Seaport Village 🤔👍🛍️

The US government is actually using the name of the continent. We are US citizens and citizens of the United States. Everyone in North America, Central America, South America, the Americas and the American continent is an American like Asia are Asians, Africa are Africans and Europe are Europeans. What happened first? The United States of America or the American continent? The United States of America became a nation on the date of July 4th of 1776 and the whole entire continent was already named America after Amerigo Vespucci in the year 1507 that was 269 years difference way before the United States of America became a nation. The United States OF America is the only country in North America, Central America, South America, the Americas the American continent is it ❓🤔. Of course not because there are 35 countries in total on the American continent. Europe has 50 countries, Asia has 51 countries, Africa has 54 countries, Oceania has 14 countries and America is not a country America is a continent of 35 countries in total. Why are people not educated about America? ............The reason why people come here to the United States from all over the world is because the US government goes to their countries and controls and manipulates their governments. The US government and its allies aka puppets invade small countries 10 or more against 1 small country not even bigger than Texas. Both the Democrats and the Republicans are the same snake with two evil heads. The US government is a two face and the number 1 terrorist in the world. The US government invades, kills, destroys, divides, controls, manipulates and steals resources from small countries. .............Homelessness is a choice of life. Life is beautiful but no one said life is easy. Many people have too many excuses in life, more excuses than the exits of freeway 101 located in California. Many people are looking for work praying to God not to find a job. People just want handouts. The more money you give them the more they want. Whoever wants an easy life in life will always have issues, struggle and drama in life but whoever makes a sacrifice in a good way in life will make a benefit in life....People have been taking advantage of the system for years. SELLING THEIR FOOD STAMPS FOR DRUGS ETC ..People need to go to work. Too many excuses in life more excuses than the exits of the freeway 101 located in California. The more you give them the more they want it's a never ending story......Who are the native Americans ❓The ones that US government conquered or all the natives from the American continent ❓ Remember the Aztecas Mayas Incas Yaquis Eskimos etc are also Native Americans all the natives from the American continent came from Asia the Aztecs, Mayas, Yaquis, Incas, Majicas, Eskimos, Navajos, Apaches etc they are all the same....

I lived in the hills west of Temecula (Santa Rosa Plateau) from 1981 to 1987. Wow! This video shows a very different, crowded place. I will not be returning. Why ruin my wonderful memories from the past?

Grew up in san diego 1952 to 1968.mission valley was all farms❤ what a beautiful place it was...still many historic sites left❤

❤❤❤❤❤

Good job

Very informative, excellent narration. Now I know where the street name such as Murrieta and Wolf valley originate from. Thank you for this video! 👍👏🏻

I lived in Fallbrook back in the early 70s and there was absolutely nothing in Temecula east of 395. 👴
