"A quick look back into the archives at our Topanga station. Originally constructed in 1934 at the north end of Topanga Bach the tower has been used by lifeguards for over 80 years. A good reminder of Topanga's rish history and the role lifeguarding has played in it." - Los Angeles County Fire Department, Lifeguard Division

"Constructed in 1924, the La Monica Ballroom was the largest ballroom on the westcoast. Its 15,000 square foot dance floor could accomodate 5000 dancers. The building's Spanish stucco exterior was crowned with a dozen towering minarets that were lit up at night."

Dogtown and The Z Boys found an audience outside of the traditional skateboard community. Tony Alva, Peggy Oki, Stacy Peralta and more from the OG Zephyr scene break down why it worked and what was missing.
"It looks like living right on the beach was very popular even back as far as 1929, when this photo was taken from the top of the Santa Monica palisades looking south toward the pier where we can see the rollercoaster and the La Monica Ballroom."

Mike, aka German in Venice, vlogs about daily life in Venice Beach, and the nearby communities.
"I found a really nice rollerskating video on my hard drive that I recorded last year before the pandemic. It was the first annual rollerskating party in Venice Beach. Lots of people showed up on the rollerskates, it was a great dance party."
