Oh yeah the slide at Blakeley's. They would let you take your air mattresses down it ,head first, and you could almost reach the other side of the pool. Did you ever get way back and vault up and land on your stomach head first? The first time I tired to dive off of the tower it ended up a belly flop. I was moaning so loud that the life guard fished me out. Was a regular there in the summers of 62, 63, 64 and 65. You could walk to the Wilshire gas station on the corner of Tulare and Clovis ave. and buy a pack of Marlboro's for 23 cents. Ah yes, youth, it is wasted on the young.
