I’m looking forward to my first slide.

I’ve lived in Los Angeles most of my life and I even ate, regularly at the Brown Derby. What about Mokkas, Dupars, Edwards Steakhouse or The Stockyard? Any pictures of those?

Cool picture. Looks like one that could be taken in the present.

Just discovered this site. We hula hooped our hips off when it was the rage. I wish it would return. It is a great exercise. Baby boomers should be working on this, if not belly dancing!

Slippers??, I think not. Those “slippers” are what we used to call thongs, zorries or the more current name: flip flops. And he’s wearing them with black socks??!!?? A fashion DON’T to be sure.

Sadly, my hula hoop skills never developed. It must be my hips. I am rarely envious, but I am of those who can hula hoop with the greatest of ease. Whistling, too. Not anyone can whistle!

I just noticed that he’s wearing slippers with socks, or vice versa. Did he pick those slippers up while stationed in the Philippines?

Just look at Mr. Shoop-shoop Hula Hoop go! Looks like he’s in front of Yamishira’s, LOL. My husband and I play frisbee in the park every weekend and I’ll surely bring my ‘hoop next time, hehe
