Welcome to Mac Meda Destruction Co.
Back in the late 1950s and early 1960s, every one knew there was something different about a particular La Jolla’s beach crowd. La Jolla was a sleepy little beach community at the time.

CRUISE NEPTUNE PLACE IN 1970 AND CHECKOUT THE BELVEDERE. Also, WindanSea needs your help, so if you can spare a few bucks (sorry kegs no longer legal at the beach), donate to one of the websites listed at the end of the video. Albert will thank you.
