Taken in 1947, the year I graduated from Santa Monica High School. Looks like the gang I hung out with then. Notice that there are very few umbrellas. We quit using them in the 40's. And now that I am in my 80's I visit the dermatologist twice a year to remove that darn skin cancer. View full size.
Looks like there are no kids and no geezers here, just young adults with raging hormones window shopping to see if anything on display interests them. I was just a few years younger but this was pretty much how it was on the east coast also in the early 60's. Perhaps there are places where similar scenarios are still happening. And by the way, I too got some wicked sunburns and also am having moles and growths removed continuously now. I'm like one big giant, walking liver spot.
