A Few More California Musings, 1983

I wasn't the only one in my group of friends that collected Wishnik Trolls. These were Andy's.

Andy had a friend that lived in the Hollywood Hills on Cielo Drive. If that name is familiar to you, that's the street Sharon Tate and her friends were murdered on in 1969. And yes, his friend lived in the same house. I visited it a couple of times with Andy. I believe it has since been torn down.

Downtown Los Angeles in the background, in those halcyon, smog-filled days of the early 1980s. I hear it's much, much less smoggy these days. I'm pretty sure this photo was taken from Griffith Park in Silver Lake.
