My cousin Deanna, around 1965 or so, obviously bored, nothing to do. Yawn.... View full size.
The door, windows and electric outlet looks exactly like a duplex unit I used to live in (West Los Angeles.) That'd be funny if it was the same building (or floorplan)
I just recently purchased a 1960-1961 Zenith Console with the Cobra Turntable inside. Speakers sound AMAZING still, but the record player needs to be replaced. Anyhow, it looks almost identical to the one in the photo.
We had a stereo like the one behind Deanna. The top of the cabinet was hinged, and inside is a record player. You can see the speakers' outlines on the front. Ours was playing pretty much all the time when we were home - everything from country to classical, folk and rock. We'd put a stack of records on the changer and dance all over the living room.
Ah, yes! Catalina Island. They just opened a trail along the whole thing. http://www.catalinaconservancy.org/visitors/recreation/trails.cfm
We've got color footage from the 1940's of my Grandpa motoring around Avalon Harbor in a Chris-Craft.
can only mean one thing: she's glued to the boob tube!
