RE: Finally, A Brand New Playground (Let's Wear this Kid Out)

We almost never get rain around here which is a plus and a minus (if you are trying to grow plants!)

The upside is that you can leave stuff sitting outside for a long time. But when it does rain, it seems to go nuts for a day or 2. Earlier this year we had an insane amount of rain. I believe they said it hadn't rained so much in 100 years! But since then hardly a single drop.

Sort:  

Ya I know what it's like over there man, I lived in LA for 4 months back when I was 19 and still in University. We lived in a place called Woodbridge near the cross or Normandy and Vermont near Torrance. I've great memories of those days. We loved California.

Are you talking about right there across the street from that big park where Vermont splits off to Normandie and goes toward PCH? There are a bunch of hospitals over there. That is called Harbor City, are the apartments called Woodbridge?

I think this was the address...

Woodbridge
1101 Sepulveda Blvd,
Torrance, CA 90502

Ooh ok, up on Sepulveda. If you go down Normandie or Vermont a little ways they actually intersect in a V shape. It's kind of crazy around here because every other block is a new city and you can't even tell by looking.

From my house to where you were living is only a couple of miles, but you have to go through San Pedro, to Harbor City to Torrance!

We were all students when we lived there too, so only one of us out of seven had a car, so lots of walking and buses! It was a great summer though, much better than the summer before when I was in Santa Clara with different friends..

That's cool. Yeah, Santa Clara is quite different. If I had been here as a student, I would have been down in the beach cities like Redondo and Hermosa chasing girls around. I have never been single and young in Cali though. Hehe..
