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. Mac Meda was born in La Jolla by a couple of hard drinking and party guys, since that time the term became a way of life. Enjoy the stories that will live forever in the 50s, 60s, and 70s.
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.
