I was a young sailor in the early 60's. Got assigned to a Destroyer at Long Beach Naval Station. The Pike was a hive of all that is Negative and warned by my Fellow Shipmates to stay away from it.

Thank you for posting this. I remember The Cyclone at the Long Beach Pike, in the early 50’s. We lived nearby. When I was about 3 or 4, my two older sisters took me there. That may be why I am terrified of heights!

Rush came on the scene at just the right time. The nation had gone so far left since the 1950s and early 1960s that Rush's conservative voice became a shinning beacon.

Had a Jewish girl, Steph I think, went down there to ride that ancient wooden roller coaster. She jumped on the first car; I steeled myself as we pulled to the top. Tried to be brave but that first drop I knew we were about to die...

The roller coaster shut down the year I started working in LB, circa 1968. The Navy was a mainstay in LB, from the early 40's until the mid 90's. When they shut everything and left.

@@luckyzert I was more fortunate, I actually was there at that private home some 40 years ago when two of the original palms were still standing... I visited many of the locations. My late friend Carey Loftin was the main stuntman on the film getting paid the same $100,000 as the stars. Carey drives the car in the opening, kicks the bucket, doubles Terry Thomas and others, a true HOLLYWOOD legend. I got to meet quite a few cast and crew, and when I started at Universal in the 1970's, where half the film was shot, much of the backlot was still like you saw in the firetruck/fire-escape scenes!

@@grahamhill6340 Excellent! I actually went up to the private residence and knocked. The were quite nasty! "Carey Loftin" was one of the best stunt guys ever...and a pretty funny guy. And we must also give credit to Frank Tallman who did the flying stunts - putting that Beechcraft through the Coca-cola sign...incredible. Because of CGI, people today don't really appreciate things that are done in real life.

Tattoo shops on almost every corner, guys at stands betting they can guess your age, and the smell of popcorn, cotton candy, saltwater taffy, and the ocean, all mixed together. And sailors, sailors, and more sailors! For you folks that weren’t here back in those days, you have no idea what you missed! Long Beach has lost a real gem.

My dad was born in 35. Born and raised in LA, told me he has seen Navy guys bail out of the coaster at the end of the pier and dive into the sea. It’s a great story but can anyone confirm this. My dad had a ton of stories and most of them true or un confirmed. Anyone, Buehler?

I always kinda thought they made the pike so sailors had something to do on liberty, and I guess they kinda did but us kids loved it to, you didn't have to wait for the carnival to get around to your town. Miss it , I guess, the childhood. ✌️. Thx.

When it was built the Cyclone was the biggest coaster in the world and the only double track roller coaster to boot. In the 1950s I was 4 or 5 taken on one of those "Dark" rides with scary stuff popping up and swinging down at me. Scared me so bad I wouldn't go on anything else, I was terrorized. Not the kind of ride you take a little kid on, would of been less scary if they had taken me on the Cyclone which I wanted to go on. They said it was too scary.

Thank you posting this! I was born in Monterey Park but grew up in Arizona from age 6 weeks. My Grandparents lived in El Monte from the late 30's and I spent most summers there in the 40's and 50's. I remember it well as it was always a special, magical place for me. The first house of my grandparents that I remember (Their second house - the first was wiped out by the freeway) was on Nevada Street near the Red Car Depot. Their final house was on Montecito Dr. and was sold in 1958 when my Grandmother moved to Arizona after the death of my Grandfather. I remember going to the swimming pool in Baldwin Park (where I learned to swim), Shopping at 5 Points, The movie Theater and many of the stores including the Thrifty Drug pictured here and The Miss and Matron Dress shop where my Grandmother worked. Valdez Restaurant was out favorite. I used to hike along the river when it was still a river before it became completely developed. The last time I was in El Monte was in the 70's and it had already changed significantly.

There were always lots of sailors walking the Pike. Locker clubs where they kept their civies. I was a Navy wife living on Pine , a short walk to the Pike and beach.
