Cool. I don’t understand why you were sitting atop your refrigerator to listen to the radio, though. Was it a Hollywood thing?
Actually, it was a “Hollywood/Circus” thing - balancing atop an inanimate object.
Hollywood, beaches, hiking in the HollywoodHills, GrifithPark, weekend trips to Vegas - quite exciting for a couple of Ohio kids. We were so poor, weekend entertainment was walking Sunset/Hollywood Blvds and just watching the people shows.
My wife-to-be and I stayed almost 5 years before returning to Ohio. Even back then, the descent into cultural depravity was beginning to be visible.
