Went 20 years with just a cooler and got more miserable every summer. Most summers felt like I would not make it, like I would just die. Finally got that air conditioner in late 90s. I would go out and kiss it quite often.

Oh my, that's funny! I grew up with swamp coolers and they actually work really well. When it gets really humid, during the Monsoons, maybe not quite as well but still it kept me cool enough. My grandparents were the only people I knew who had actual AC in their house till I was way older. When I lived in Michigan I felt I would die from the heat and humidity. Finally got a window AC for the bedroom and felt like I'd died and gone to heaven! So I kinda 'get' what you're saying. lol

I'm looking for pictures of 7th St south of Glendale circa 1955. By any chance, do you remember Stage 7?

All the addresses were different then. We used to live on Palm Lane which now is 64th Ave.

Curtis Cudia City club only lasted about 90 days. His next venture was Stage 7 in 1961 and it was the teen hot spot in the early 60's. Many famous singers performed there and I was there every weekend. American Bandstand, Teen Beat, the best DJs, It was all about the music and dancing and cruising and clean fun. The radio stations were even set up at the State Fair in the late 50s early 60s with a dance platform where teens gathered to dance and visit. Brings a tear to my eye.
I practically lived there. 61-63 What a great time we had and some really famous performers too!

I know about the Rollerland between 23rd and 24th Ave. on Thomas but that was later.

We are living in different decades.
I worked there in the 60s. It was a discount dept store.
