I would watch the Mexican hookers doing guys in the Van in the parking lot. Great take out joint, lots of culture. From Mercedes to Bums in Cars would eat there.

2. Tommy's Hamburger by the 405 freeway, same street as El Indio.. I forget that damn street, goes right by North side of Van Nuys Airport.

3. Getty Oil Fields - when I was younger I'd take my Landcruiser up there and get soo friggin stoned.. then a police helicopter would come chase us out of there.. happened many times. It was pretty fun and terrifying.

4. Chatsworth Park - this was a very cool place to hike at one time. The Rope Cave, and the Tunnel. I think it's all locked up now.

who else grew up there? I need to go back soon.
