Post subject:  I grew up in Hollywood

I recently went back to Los Angeles to connect with my old friends. It was fun to talk with my old friends from childhood.

I explored the old neighborhood I grew up in, which is now a historic/legendary neighborhood.

It's more than just the place I grew up in; it's an important lifestyle. If you want to see how I grew up, watch the documentary "Dogtown and Z-Boys." I know a lot of those guys. I went to Mar Vista Elementary School, which is cited in the documentary.

My grandmother was a Santa Monica schoolteacher for 30 years. My father was a Santa Monica policeman for 12 years. My mother was a nurse at the Santa Monica Hospital for almost two years.

Here's a video I took last month from a place where I spent a lot of my childhood:
