My first home was Roger Young Village. I have an old black and white picture from 1949 that shows the quonset hut profiles.
CB,
My Dad was the one who taught me the ins-and-outs of driving in Southern California. He’d have me, as a young child, use the old Thomas Bros. Guides to find things, most notably the best routes, on our drives together. This made me a better driver, I’m sure, and gave me an excellent sense of direction that I have to this day.

Exactly! And getting my own copy of a brand-new Thomas Guide for Los Angeles was a real “rite of passage” . . . right after getting my driver’s license. The sense of direction thing is so true . . . as well as learning how to backtrack, get out of tight spots, and switch on/off freeway interchanges, etc., lol! It was like driving boot camp to learn from our dads . . . but so well worth it! Thanks for the great comment, Desiree.
