I saw Disneyland as a tiny boy in 1956 and as a soldier in 1972, it was a truly magical place.

In 1969 I hitchhiked to California and got an apartment around Knott and Ball in Anaheim, do you remember a dairy in that area?

I lived in Hacienda Heights so the trek do Disneyland was about 45 minutes. I don’t remember a dairy because I wasn’t familiar with the story.

There is a movie on Youtube called “no downpayment” with Tony Randall, Jeffery Hunter, etc. It was made in 1957 and it opens with a couple driving from LA to Orange County and they are on the 5 freeway and signs along the way show housing developments in Orange County, Santa Ana and they actually exit at Ball Rd! You have to watch for the sign, but you see it.....”Ball Rd.”

And it’s a good movie aobut life in the 50s and 60s and suburbs and the problems, like alchol and infidelity, etc.

Take a look:
