I grew up in Burbank, a San Fernando valley town, mountains(sorta) on 3 sides. I was in 3rd grade and my teacher lived in the hillside; it snowed up there so she took her hubby's pickup to work that day cuz it was full of snow and treated us to a snowball fight before school started. I loved that woman

The valley was so much smaller back then, I often wonder if you and my father crossed paths. He grew up in Van Nuys.

Likely not until HS when we all became mobile. Burbank was a stuffy conservative little town with not a lot to offer teenagers so when we could drive we bailed on Fri Sat nights. One of the things to do was cruise Van Nuys Blvd, so it would have been possible

Just remembered, the Hollywood freeway connection to the 5 wasn't finished yet between N Hollywood and Sun Valley, so for a few years it was the place to go for informal drag racing; kids from all over the Valley were there on Fri Sat nites. Became very sophisticated in warning that the cops were coming and cop avoidence lol
