Twin Peaks (San Francisco)
Twin Peaks offers the best views of San Francisco, probably the most beautiful city in the USA.
San Francisco, CA
San Francisco is probably my favourite city in the USA. I don’t know why, but I feel really at home here, and for some reason most people there think I’m a local so obviously there’s a connection.
Pacific Coast Highway
We drove the famous Pacific Coast Highway, or State Route 1, from Los Angeles to San Francisco, in 1997 as part of our USA vacation.
Disneyland 1997
This is a nostalgic look at the original Disneyland in Anaheim, built by Walt Disney himself, in the late 1990s before it was expanded and an additional theme park (Disney California Adventure Park) was built on the original carpark.
Sherman Oaks Galleria
We visited this iconic shopping mall, one of the birthplaces of “Valley” culture and used in several films, several months before it was severely damaged by the Northridge earthquake and it’s eventual decline.
Long Beach and Queen Mary
On my first visit to the Los Angeles in 1993 (business trip), we used to drive along the coast on the weekends. One weekend we stopped by at Long Beach to visit Queen Mary.
Visiting a Data Centre in the 1990s
They sure don’t build “Big Iron” computers like they used to. This is a data centre located in Los Angeles in the 1990s.
Universal Studios Hollywood
Universal Studios Hollywood is a unique theme park in the 1990s in that it was based on a real film studio backlot, and the Backlot Studio Tour actually started in 1915.
