| Why a site on Westchester, CA, a little suburban spot between Marina Del Rey and Los Angeles International Airport? And why is it from my perspective? First off, there aren't any serious historical groups out there, much less a site with more than one picture that is, if not preserving, showing off some interesting history of this Los Angles suburb. Sure, there's this Westchester/Playa Del Rey Historical Society/Club/whatever deal, but the last time I tried to contact them, nobody was home. I even visited their offices at LMU but nobody answered. Doubt that they have that office anymore. So, I decided to tackle the minefield of internet web design and slap one together. One thing that should be noted about this hole-in-the-wall this is, obviously, not an "official" nor a "general" site at all. This is a more personal tribute to this suburb that I spent a good chunk of my impressionable days, circa 1978-1981. So don't expect anything like the some real estate corporate sponsored version of local history trying to sell ya something nor the History Channel, this'll be more of 'I Love The 70's' & 'My Greatest Years' mixed together with too much shmultz and self-references galore. Good Luck and dig in, Don-O [email protected] SITE NEWS (Jult 25th 09): If you haven't heard yet, Yahoo is closing down Geocities in late October! Which means this puppy will going off line as well. I was hoping for update, but this recent development kinda killed it. Anyway, I hope to have another resting spot for this Westchester deal soon....I freakin' hope. See you at Flikr or YouTube. I've just set up a Westchester group at Yahoo's Flickr site and have put up so,e old and rare stuff on it. I hope this will encourage others to do the same. You can find this group HERE! ....and, it looks like I'm not the only one. Flickr user Tortuga One has set up his/her own Westchester page at this link! 'Westchester, My Westchester' Links KXLU/Molotov Cocktial Hour 'Polynesian Village' tribute Photo gallery and left over god knows what LAX 'Coffee Tea Or whatever' Who the HELL am I anyways?!?!

| SMALL NEWS SECTION: (as of 7/24/08) Due to idiotic computer complications, I've lost a good chunk of my digital Westchester photos. So updating this site will be kinda slow for now. To make this nostalgic vibe even more unbarible, I just slapped together a YouTube slideshow tour of Westchester. You can find it here.
