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
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!
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.
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!
i lived in Sunland from 1972 to 1981...i went to Sunland elementary school and remember the rainbow theater....i remember seeing zanadu...i remember a small toy store my dad would take me to after half way up foothill ave?i really miss those days and still remember suying star wars there..... we moved to palmdale in 1981 because our house was broken into 3 times in Sunland....please join me in a time machine visit back to 1980
I went to Sunland Elementary also, in 1976 and 1977 🙂 There was a drive-in movie theater ... is that the one you're mentioning, or is that something different?
Fantastic! My folks had just bought land in Tujunga and were building their home on Fairgrove Ave when this was shot. Very nostalgic for me as I was 8 years old at the time.
Wow this is awesome I lived in Tujunga from 1982 til 2005, I went to pinewood elementary mt. gleason middle school and verdugo hills high school, we watched movies at the rainbow, Rudy's bean pot was there we would get delicious chili cheese fries, than we would go to the 711 because they had arcades in that time and spend a few quarters
Around 1962 I was sitting on my bike leaning against the pole at Silverton and Beckett St right next to Pinewood Elementary. It was exactly 11 AM. The Air Raid siren on top of that pole went off and scared the hell out of me. They used to test them for a few minutes once a month and I was at the wrong place at the wrong time. My ears still ring. In 1958 I went to kindergarten in the middle room on the Valmont side. In the 1960's on a Santa Ana wind day, a small plane maybe a Cessna 150 gently crashed and landed in a tree there. Great video, brought back tons of memories.
@Nicky Nick 352 Damn that sounds so nice. I was born in 99 and grew up in Sunland and everything in town was abandoned when I was growing up. No arcades, nothing. It's a little better now though.
OMG I grew up in Tujunga! Lived up in La Tuna Canyon. Went to Apperson Elementary then later Mt Gleason Jr High. Grandma and Grandpa lived in La Canada. WOW THANK YOU FOR UPLOADING THIS!
Yeah I sure remember that back BE for k mart opend in may1977 store#3274 i lived tujunga1962 to1997 guess Home Depot wanted to purchase the property did they Im now a Montana resadent do you know if they converted it to Home Depot
I remember The Sunland Drive in. I still remember seeing Jaws there. Hilltop theater brings back memories as well.The watermelon festival at Sunland Park. I was born there in 1966 and moved in 1980. Sorry about skateboarding in your swimming pools when you were out of town.
Lived in Sunland for 25 plus years. Moved 13 years ago to Oregon. Still have fond memories of the area and people. Surprised no picture of K-Mart and Verdugo High School. Still a member of the Elks Lodge on Commerce Ave. Thanks for sharing this., Happy where I am right now.
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.
@@williamling9404 Thank you! Awesome to see this. If you have or know of any old photos I'm looking for the Tujunga Cyn and Commerce area across from what use to be the Bade Mortuary a little Rock House on the same site as the cleaners. Perhaps you remember it ?
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!
It's amazing how many places and things are still there, including: the Jack In A Box with the 7-11 across the street from it, the 7-11 along Tujunga Canyon, the big tire sign, the water tower up on the hill.
So cool watching this! We lived off Foodhill Blvd. on Mather when I was a kid in the '70s so this really brings back memories. Thanks so much for posting!
I had a girlfriend back in 1984. I had dated that lived on Haines Cyn. Named, Mary Rumi. Oh, what memories. At one time their was a movie theater across the street. As your making a slight turn, I do remember that used car lot traveling westbound. How time fly's. Thank you for the memories.
Thanks for the film. Great to see the Ford dealership there near Commerce. I also remember the Akron store where Smart & Final is now. And there was K-Mart! Boogie Bowl was in La Crescenta at Foothill & Moore. For some great shots from the mid '80s I recommend the film "River's Edge" with Crispin Glover and Keanu Reeves.
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.
Thanks for taking the time to comment. I lived there for 45 years. I just moved to Texas in 2021. If you like "The Good Ol' Days" you might like this: ua-cam.com/video/62YMiIAVePg/v-deo.html. Cheers.
sure do miss it there, moved to michigan in 73, but all my childhood half of my teen years are there, what great memories, i lived at 10411 commerce was the last place i lived, and i seen my old place had changed, man it be great of you could make a vedio of commerce and pinewood ele and mt gleason jr high, i love to see how it looks now and that area along with foot hill buld
Whoa! At 2:37, I got excited because I work next door to the abandoned Aragato and was excited to see what my office building looked like then. It was apparently just being built. So cool. Edit: also, the liquor store 2:53 that quickly passes by was the liquor store in the 1986 film Teen Wolf with Michael J. Fox.
@fnj006 Crazy. I was -2 haha. I could see locals being pissed. Interesting bit about the architecture. I'd probably be one of those locals upset it blocked the hills. Ive worked mostly from home over the last year or so, but I'd say most of it is leased.
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 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.
I was 15 years old skateboard at the Boogie Bowl. That was a great town until they allowed the rezoning and building codes. Great video. I remember all those same cars too. Like yesterday.
Wow! This is so cool! 7-11 still there. Jack in the box and Mcdonalds toward Sunland still there, Wow CVS on Haines Canyon used to be a Shell gas station! CHASE used to be Home Furnishing store! Wow this is so cool! this was before I was born, and I still live here 2022
Actually, Chase used to be a Home Savings and Loan. Long before that, that's where I believe a Copper Penny Restaurant was at that corner, if I remember correctly. I also hope that I am correct that the Smart and Final area had establishments called TJ&Y and Busy Bee as well as a toy or hobby shop. My childhood memory is hazy. I would love this to be either confirmed or corrected by anyone.
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. ✌️😎
9934 La Canada Way my uncle lived on a property with a guest house m grandparents stayed in the cottage.. had a super strange experiences there and still trying to unfold this memory of mind....thanks for the peices of history my (89'-91')
The building that stands out the most is the mall unfinished business complex that stood vacant for 25 years because Iranians owned it and supported the Ayatollah
Things haven’t changed much at all. If anything it’s gotten worse. New people moving in speeding down what use to be quiet neighborhood streets. People illegally dumping in the canyon and obnoxious neighbors acting like animals running through stop signs.
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......
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.
It’s crazy I don’t even like taking a walk, I’ve been living here in Tujunga for 22 years that is one thing that has changed drastically the speeding on Foothill.
@@l0nelyl0ver23 I hear you. I moved here back in 2010. When I do go for walks, it's south of foothill. I'll literally get in my car and park where it's calm. Other than the occasional car break-in and the speeding, I have liked it here. I love the mountains and the more "rural" feel. Only redeeming qualities.
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
Kinda sad I didn't see any mention of Poo Ping restaurant. Idk, I only moved to the area after it became a Mexican food spot yet still left the poo ping sign on the big strip mall sign facing foothill Blvd. Like even after it's death it lived on. Someone in the area needs to bring it back. I heard the poo ping chicken was delicious.
Many people come and go throughout the times but as an Armenian working and living in Sunland I must say Sunland Tujunga is for everyone. not just the Armenians
1:30 Haha, bell bottoms. How embarrassing. WTF??? No Smoke Shops? Zwerns Surplus Store was behind that guy when he was in the middle of Foothill. There was a Trampoline facility where Jack in the Box is by Sunland Park. Thanks for the memories.
Ha Ha Ha! People in Sunland-Tujunga were wearing bell bottoms when they came back around into style in a very brief retro trend phase. LOL! I've always considered the area to be the Twin Peaks of L.A.
@@ChadOBannedNews My friend's dad grew up in LaCrescenta in the 30's. Tujunga was known as Billygoat Acres then. Now it eez Armenian wonderland fool uv Smowk Shop and people drive Merrrcedes and Bentley. Sherno hakal yoot fhoon. Papik and Tatik, yegch bayer still leeeve there, smowk zigga retttes, talk about old contree.
I lived in Sunland Tujunga at this exact time. & ironically my neighbor had a blue Datsun 280z. We lived on Silverton. Not far from whr the Datsun in video was spotted 🤗
“Tujunga” is an ancient Indian word meaning “old woman of the earth.” In 1963, the area was seen as "famous for its climate beneficial to asthma sufferers". The name “Tujunga” comes from a Tongva word Tuxuunga, which was originally pronounced ta-HOONG-ah with a softer “G” than the one normally used in the English language, according to Pam Munro, a linguist from UCLA.

What is Tujunga?
“Tujunga” is an ancient Indian word meaning “old woman of the earth.”
In 1963, the area was seen as "famous for its climate beneficial to asthma sufferers".
The name “Tujunga” comes from a Tongva word Tuxuunga, which was originally pronounced ta-HOONG-ah with a softer “G” than the one normally used in the English language, according to Pam Munro, a linguist from UCLA.
Best thing I ever did was getting off that God forsaken rock in 1972!
Was pinewood ghetto back then too?
