    RTD was my main mode of transportation during my middle school years to my first year of high school (1977 to 1981), until I received my license in spring of 1981 at the DMV on Van Nuys Blvd. Btw, High School Drivers Training was the BEST experience ever from high school and such a part of the 80's! lol...

    I really love this series. Must have been so cool to grow up in California in the 80s. I used to get all the BMX magazines back then and was in awe of So Cal.

    All of your videos are cool and my favorite series is "Memories of the San Fernando Valley". Been living in The Valley since 1973. I interact with your SFV videos by pausing and then searching Google Maps for the location and I always find it. Doesn't take more than a minute or two since you always provide the precise locations. I'm having fun ...

    You are correct, Kurt, there was a Skate and Surf Shop and it was on Devonshire and De Soto, right next to the McDonald's. It was there until 4-5 years ago, and now there is a fairly large comic book shop.

    I grew up playing baseball on those fields,it was named’Franklin Fields’ and every weekend the whole place was packed with games on every field happening.There was an Opening day ceremony where teams would decorate their cars/trucks and some had the whole team in them (my dad).There were Snack shops and we would just play our game and just hangout there all day and watch other friends games.Really memorable time as a kid.And that dugout from Fast Times was the field i played the majority of my games at.

    I always enjoy watching your tours of the #SanFernandoValley, especially the filming locations.
    Having grown up in Burbank from 1978 to 1990 (a few blocks from the Wonder Years house) I did not make it into the central or west side of The Valley much until I moved to Van Nuys from 1998 to 2004.

    I really enjoy your videos. Silly, but as a midwestern resident who hasn't been to California since the early 90's I'd had the mindset that California had become a dystopian hellscape. Your videos kind of make me want to check it out again.

    Haha RTD! I went to Encino Elementary in the 80s and as a 3rd grader I skipped school took the RTD to look for gummy bracelets to sell at school. When I got back to school my mom was waiting for me and whipped my ass later that night. Still worth it though sold all those trendy bracelets the next day.

    You are correct sir about the skate shop across the street from Hughes. Also, “On e upon a time in Hollywood” confirmed the stories of the dumpster diving. And let’s not forget the Munch Box where Charlie’s gf worked at the Candy Cat across the street by the Happy Hookers knitting supply! 😅

    I remember watching "Hardball" on Friday nights. It followed "Baywatch" and was followed by "Mancuso, FBI." It was still on when Richard Tyson was in "Kindergarten Cop."
    Another school function that isn't how the movies show depict them are high school reunions. I have not gone to any, but the pictures show a bunch of people whom are mostly friends with each other gathering at a bar or cookout. Now with social media, the novelty reunion aspect of seeing people again after ten or twenty or however many years is gone.

When I was a kid in late 70's some dick motorcycle cop stopped me and my brother on the corner of San Fernando Mission and Sepulveda because he was on his bike towing me on a skateboard with a rope. The dude couldn't find a law, so he used the call box on that corner to call in and try to find one. . . . . .there wasn't one, let us go
