I live in Oak Park (next to Agoura Hills). Sold my old boat and have a new one in the mold right now, should be ready by end of March. Looking to hook up with people in the neighborhood for some family boating trips this summer.

Lived there several years ago..In T.O. on Avenida De Los Arboles near Cal Lutheran...Use to spend alot of time and money at the "British Pub n' Grub" on Arboles by Moorpark road. Great cheeseburgers!
didn't feel like spending $400,000 on a house so I moved to the beautiful desert oasis of Antelope Valley, after a year or so in Canyon Country!

Grew up in T.O. Used to go the Pub and Grub. Mostly hung out at the hungrey hunger after work. All the carpenter did. I moved there in 1963 so I know the area pretty good. Believe me I know the history pretty good. I did a ton of partying there. Los Robles Inn, Charles Browns and a few others. I could name a few more but you young guys would'nt have a clue. :D :D For you old guys don't forget Dupars.

How about the T.O Tavern? What name did it switch to before it finally went out of biz? Does anyone remember the Tally Ho?
How about Akreys?

I grew up in Westlake Village and remember most of the places mentioned above. Lot's of good memories. Hard to believe how much it's changed. Can't believe city hall is where Jungleland used to be.
Too damn expensive to live there for a workin man.

I am telling you all I am an NP local. Does anyone remember going 4x in Labranca, or the Kimber Fields? The growth is amazing... My sister in law lives in Dos Vientos, it's a new track of homes for those of you that remeber the kimber fields. Everytime I am at her house, I trip out because we used to go out 4 wheeling, or ride our motorcycles, or better yet grab a bunch of beer, a bunch of chicks, and a bunch of wood and have a raging fireback in the hills. I wouldn't even think about it now.

That's funny just hearing the name The Melody Theater. Does anybody remember when the two guys got shot at the MacDonald's on Moorpark and Janss, they were two good friends of mine. I want to say around 1969. That MacDonald was where all the kids meet at the time, in the parking lot to figure out where all the party were. I remeber one time Charie Manson's group came there to to recuit guys to join, we just laughed at them. Well I'm getting long here Sorry about that eek!

B and D homes. Used to rent those homes with a bunch of guys throw some great parties. Rent for 180.00 a month. your right, it probably is boring unless you grew up there. I do remember the houses lifting the builder would take the steel out after inspection and put it in the next home. The builder ended up killing himself, all to save a 100.00 dollars in steel.(1965)
