I grew up in Covina also, sort of. My closest party friends moved there when I was a teenager so I was always down there from Riverside on Fri/Sat night to party. Before my next Covina experience, this was back in the 70's so don't beat a dumb teenager up, this was just before MADD. Twice, at 17, and another at 18, I woke up in the Covina jail having no idea how I got there! I had been caught drunk driving both times, and a good thing too, but not at the time. I did a year of drunk driving school, and a year of AA which was a chore as I was not an alcoholic, just a kid having stupid fun. Great memories down in Covina, but so different from Shelby's! 😁😎👍✌☃🎄🤶🎅

Who remembers Beanie and Cecil live and Al Jarvis, and Betty White live? KTLA is such a staple in LA. Nice story.

[@alansands256]

I think that was the San Dimas Michaelangelo's they showed, maybe because it's the only one left. But I wonder if she worked at the one that was on Arrow Highway and Citrus

[@raqperalta]

Mind blown .. we went to the same middle school and high school I think she was a year younger tho ..

[@frankgonzalez1533]

I knew her older sister. Graduated the same year.. that's crazy.

[@velvet373]

I love Andrew Rogers. Edit: I love Shelbs too

[@NAT-turners-Revenge]

We now have her origin story--- except how did she end up with the name Nelson 🤔

[@ruffadamsthegreat.2662]

Uh, her dad?🙄 Smh...

[@NAT-turners-Revenge]

@@ruffadamsthegreat.2662 Nelson, is a mexican surname?

[@samanthanelson783]

Our Great Grandma on our Dad’s side changed our grandpa’s last name to the man she remarried’s last name which was Nelson🙂

[@alansands256]

I was wondering too. And her Fiance Mr Rogers also looks Hispanic. Then again, my kids are 75% Hispanic with my last name.

[@p.gonzalez4973]

I remember she was once best friends with Andrew’s long time girlfriend but I guess they decided to leave that part out 👀

[@ruffadamsthegreat.2662]

Why include it? Sheesh...🙄

[@yagirl91]

Facts

[@p.gonzalez4973]

@@ruffadamsthegreat.2662 you’re right. My hope is that the girl doesn’t see this video. He was a bad boyfriend to her, and Shelby was a shady friend. That concludes my Ted Talk ✌️

[@velvet373]

Lol, did you make a KZbin account just to comment this?
