I lived near Antelope Valley College, Lancaster, and circa 2005 there was amateur midget car races in the college parking lot on the weekends. While I never saw a race in Valencia, there is an old race track there. I lived in Los Angeles County from 1966 to 2010 and enjoyed most of my time there.

The curse continues as long as Karen Bass and Gavin Newsom govern California. They redirect free-flowing mountain water from the reservours and hydrants and ignoring forest and brush management, creating a risk of wildfires to devestate the areas. Newsom and Karen Bass have created a man-made drought in California, putting at risk all properties, animal and human life.

I hiked echo mountain a few years back. It was just the right amount of difficulty and was able to complete the hike. Unfortunately it was cloudy and foggy when I was there so I didn't get to enjoy the view of the city below. I would like to go back after the area rehabilitates from the Eaton fire. I enjoy the history of the mountain.

I’ve been learning about the curse for years when it was tied to the fatal incidents in its history like Peg Entwistle’s fatal jump on the Hollywoodland sign, the Sowden House’s and its (possible) ties to the Black Dahlia, Los Feliz Murder House, or the Mason Family Murders. There’s so much bad history that many would believe that the history of the town would likely be responsible. Although I wouldn’t believe it fully.

Let's not forget the Curse of "Rebel without a Cause"! The classic Movie of the 1950s set one of its most iconic scenes at the Observatory. It was a knife fight. Later on its 3 stars would die unexpectedly, tragically and violently. James Dean would die in his racing car which was numbered 13. Sal Mineo would die in a homosexual murder in the 1970s. Natalie Wood die in a drowning incident in the 1980s involving Chris Walken and husband Robert Wagner. As of 2025, the last two are still unsolved mysteries. Mineo's killer has not been found, Woods death remains unclassified as accident or murder. So the Griffith Park curse continues until today!

If it makes you feel better, it was founded by the Western European Portuguese and Spanish nobility and Roman Catholic Church who's conquests stretched to Peru in the South. California was first colonized at the presidio in the Bay area by Juniper Serra, a Franciscan monk, hence san Francisco, the military power was Spanish, Mexican rule was about 30 years, but all that means is the colonial government of Mexico as run by western European royalty and the Catholic Church. And yes, after that, made pre-state territory by American Mutts of German Scotch-Irish British Dutch, extract all comparably opportunistic in treating the indigenous in the disposable tradition of the Catholic Spanish and Portuguese.

So I get the hilltop location. But Russia is over 5000 miles away. So then, what were they listening for ? Voice communications ? Morse Code ? Some type of frequency ? Were sattlelights being used at that time ? The questions are endless.

Pleeeeeease do Whitley Heights one hill over. Nobody talks about it but it has had some wild tenants. The Ojai apartment building was the place that Charlie Chaplin's first wife moved to during her divorce from him, and it's also where Ed Wood's stuntman friend Kenne Duncan took his own life. Then there's the actual mansions which are even more insane. Rudolph Valentino and W.C. Fields both lived there, so did a man who is depicted from behind in one of Magritte's paintings. The whole hill was designed to look like an Italian cliffside village and the man who owned the estates, Whitley, sent his architect to the Mediterranean coast for a whole year to study the land before he came back and began building.
