You will be more than welcome to join the Dutch, Yorick. After posting those Unsurpassed Masters downloads we might make you a VIP.

I had planned to drive over to Hathorne fron Anaheim but it was the
LOCALS
who warned me to stay away. I asked people in several areas of Orange County aboput going there and it was unanimous.....uhm...uh uh, better not.....Seemed like good advice to heed. Not necessarily a racial issue and I'm not a racist but I'm for caution and I chose to not go, especially driving around in my rental car in a strange area. Maybe a cab ride would have felt safer.
As for Jons remarks about going around LA neighborhoods, I did that twenty years ago and I even got robbed but it didnt bother me too much then. I'm more cautious in my old age.

I just got back from Orange County. There is a great record store called Mr. C's records in an area called Old Orange about five miles west of Anaheim. This place is literally frozen in the sixties. Old Gas Stations, movie theatres etc.
The record store can be seen inthe street scenes of
That Thing You Do
. Go there. The place is chock full of the best display of vintage records you've EVER SEEN. The owner is an old friend of Dick Dale and he shared his photo album with me. It was off season for tourists in Orange County so he had time to just chat with me for an hour.
I might try and find that store as well...are any specific details known on this record store (which street etc.)? Thanks in advance!!

Mr. C's Rare Records
148 N. Glassell
Orange California
10:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. Tuesday thru Saturday
Phone 714-532-3835 or 714-639-6281
If you go there is much more to see in the neighborhood. The remnants of a farm town when that area was agricultural many years ago, before it all became part of greater Los Angeles.

Here are a few more:
Goldstar Recording Studio was at 6252 Santa Monica Blvd (just E. of Vine on the S. side of the street). The location is now a strip mall (not a strip joint) though.
Radio Recorders is another historic (and still existing) recording studio where Elvis, among others, recorded many of his hits. It is located at 7000 Santa Monica Blvd. They had the good sense to put a nice historic landmark here which I feel would be nice to do at Western.
A.B.L.E. Machinery Company (Always Better Lasting Equipment), was located at 4969 East Firestone Blvd. in Southgate. A.B.L.E. was Murry’s startup company before he got out of the business to manage the Beach Boys full-time.
The Fosters Freeze that inspired “Fun Fun Fun” is still at 11969 Hawthorne Blvd close to the BB landmark. They have a bit of BB stuff posted.
A short ways down Hawthorne Blvd at 13763 Hawthorne Boulevard was the Hawthorne Grill. It was used in filming the key robbery scenes in Pulp Fiction. It was torn down a couple of years ago though. It was in it’s prime in the early 60’s and I’d speculate that some or all of the Wilson’s went there on occasion, which I think is interesting.
Dead Man’s Curve (the spot referred to in the song) is located on Sunset near Groverton Place, (just north of the UCLA campus). Just east on Sunset, near the intersection at Whittier Drive is where Jan Berry had the terrible accident in his Corvette Stingray 427
Dennis Wilson kept his boat on Basin C dock in Marina Del Rey.
Elvis first met the Beatles at 565 Perugia Way, a stone’s throw from Bellagio. I understand that the original house there is gone now.
