Imagine 70's LA times 10. Having lived through that, it's hard to imagine anything worse. I remember the smog alert days in elementary school where we got to stay home and were ordered to stay indoors. This was in Carson and Torrence fairly close to the ocean. I can't even imagine how nasty the smog was in Burbank/Glendale/Pasadena on those days. Out in the Valley I remember heading back from camping near Simi Valley and seeing the "Balboa Bulge" off in the distance, a huge wall of smog that extends out from Burbank to Balboa Avenue. Crazy. Reminds me of what those dust storms in Phoenix look like off in the distance as they approach. The smog was almost non-existent during our New Years visit and we could clearly see all the mountains, something that rarely happened back in the day. You wouldn't even know there were mountains there because you could never see them! Where did you live as a kid, Walt? |

You wouldn't even know there were mountains there because you could never see them! Where did you live as a kid, Walt? SFValley. Let's put it this way.... As a kid in the late 60s I used to workout at a long course pool in Burbank in the summer for 2 hours, 3 times a week. The pool was (and is) on one of the last streets on the eastern side of town before Burbank starts going up into the foothills. We used to gauge the level of smog by whether or not we could see those hills, not a mile from the pool. THAT is how bad it was. We'd get out of the pool and everyone had a sore throat from the smog. We'd head straight to the Baskin Robbins for an ice cream to soothe the throat. In those days, nobody thought about "smog days". IMO, the late 60s were the absolute worst. In '69 the first smog control devices were being installed, so by the mid 70s it was a little better. |

Fred was in L.A. as late as the mid-80's on Wilshire and couldn't see further down the Blvd. more than about five or six blocks. That was a really bad day and he says his eyes were burning badly from the smog.
