I opened my business on Main St the following year 1976 Recycled Cycles; we fought to keep Main St a "Quaint Beach Community' but lost that battle to the outside developers and hotel operators and to become "Surf-City" a destination for the tourist's mighty dollars that has destroyed what Our Community was. I remember so many faces and names in this video, but many have left now. I remain 71 years old in the city I grew up in and am still here in a few days before 2025.
Wow, talk about flashbacks, two infamous HB characters - Dave Garofalo and George Arnold. That aside, almost 50 years later and we still allow cars on Main St. Way past time to make the first three blocks completely car-free year round.
2022 checkin in, boy have they wrecked this place. long time resident watched the cancer creep in because no one wanted to hurt anyones feelings. I feel like I escaped a future hellscape by fleeing. anyone remember when compton was a real nice place to raise your family? HB will be total police state or total jungle now, no middle ground. lords and peasants. RIP my beautiful city.
@@jasonvelisaratos868 1990-2020 with a couple inland experiments that never lasted very long tried long beach too. dude was being mugged in front of my house the day I moved in. they threatened to mug me I threatened them back and they ran away. god bless the second amendment. f chinafornia I hope the culprits are punished severely for destroying paradise and turning it into a prison/plantation G N3wsome is a criminal psychopath
