We moved away from L.A. 12 years ago. Is there still a Hamburger Hamlet directly next door to the Bruin? We would eat there and could watch as the line formed. When the line reached the middle of the Hamlet, we knew it was time to get in line.

I broke my collar bone in the mid-50’s and was feeling down. My dad took me out to dinner and to the Loyola to see Raymond Burr in the original “Godzilla.” Will also remember that night because my dad was one of the busy ones who rarely had time to spend with his kids. When he wasn’t working, he was out drinking.

I saw “Shane” with Alan Ladd there in the early 1950’s as well as hundreds of others in the 50’s and 60’s. My mother would drop us off for the double feature and we would be there the whole afternoon. Does anyone remember the glassed-in cry room that was located in the back few rows in the 50’s? Mothers with small children would go in there, but you often could still hear the crying — just muffled. Where does time go?

The first motion picture I was ever taken to in my life was at the Centinela Drive In in the early 1950’s. The movie was “The Beast from Twenty Thousand Fathoms.” We lived in Westchester, about one mile from the drive in. Where does time go?

Saw the original “Parent Trap” there in the early 60’s and then went around the block and had dinner at Lupe’s Mexican Village. Great memories of childhood…Inglewood and Westchester.
