'pee-oh-pee'

Just found an old DVD I bought off eBay a couple years ago. It got lost in the clutter. It had a nice little clip of Pacific Ocean Park on it in Santa Monica aka POP (pronounced as 'pee-oh-pee' by the locals.) 

I extracted it here:

POP was destroyed back in the last century, but I still remember it growing up in L.A..

There is another nice clip on POP in the 'Route 66' series. I will have to try and dig it up someday. (Maybe season 2?) I got it from the library. Watched the whole series. By the time I was done I was getting burnt out. 

Back then they produced a tremendous amount of weekly shows in a series. Not like they do today. We are weenies compared to what they produced for a TV season back then. Plus nowadays they take at least double the time for commercial breaks me thinks. Funny, back in the early 60's they were talking on one of the Route 66 shows about illegal aliens!
