Down Memory Lane (without any accidents)






As a kid when you went south on Van Nuys Blvd. and passed the underpass, there was Buddy's Bat away (I think that was the name) on the right. And on the left, there was an open field.

Buddy's Bat Away has been replaced by a car dealership, which promises you a loan even if you don't have good credit in both English and Spanish. The empty lot has become the Amtrak Train/Amtrak Bus/Metro-link train station. I remember when the train station opened. It was just a platform with a parking lot in the late '80s. There were always train enthusiasts with radios to tell how much the train was going to be late. It was never once on time. Now, it's pretty reliable.
