Mom Left Me Alone For... Wendy

After dropping mom off a Burbank Airport at 5:30 a.m. I drove to the South Bay for a 7:30 a.m. appointment with a city agency.   I had plenty of time, even by L.A. traffic standards.  When I got off the Harbor Fwy I did a GPS search for a place to fill-up with petrol, wanting to kill some time.

I drove down the Blvd. and what did I see? - the above sign.  It pointed down an old, well worn side street next to the Hawthorne Airport.  My interest we piqued - what would a California State Historic Beach Boy Monument be in some dilapidated neighborhood in Hawthorne CA?   When would I ever pass this way again?

The Beach Boy Monument - behind it is the 105 freeway.  So this is place where the Surfin' USA boys grew-up and cut their first record.

 Sorry you missed it Mom.  I hope you are having as much fun as I am.
