Who remembers? The small little play ground with sand, steel slides and monkey bars across from the Rolling Hills Theater? The Smorgesboard in the Rolling Hills Plaza? The Gumm’s who owned the barber shop who did Chuck Norris' hair. The moto-cross track behind Food’s Co. and the Rolling Hills Theater? 5 cent ice creams at Thrifty and 15 cents for a triple? That “Scater Dater” was one of the first 8mm movies about skate boarding filmed all around the Rolling Hills Plaza? The time when an armed robber took hostages in the Rolling Hills Plaza jewelry store and fired shots all day with SWAT outside? The Parasol Restaurant across the street? UA Theater’s with its upstairs balcony on the NE corner of PCH and Crenshaw? And for a bonus quetion…the eating place Farrel’s where if you ordered “the zoo”, a huge steel tub of ice cream. They would bring it out on a stretcher with siren’s sounding. Oohh baby I got lots more!
OK..Who remember’s? As a side note my brother and I were dropped off as we normally were for the full day to stay at the theaters. We watched the bodies being brought out on gurney’s with blood seaping through the white cloth’s covering the head side of the bodies. The movie was The World’s Greatest Athlete with Jan Micheal Vincent. Including my brother and I, there were only about 6 people in the whole theater that day! We were absolutely terrified that one of the other people in the dark theater was the murderer coming back to do more harm. Does anyone remember the intermissions half way through the movie and the raffles for prizes that would take place?
