Licorice pizza records store free#
So fun won the limbo and speed races lol got a free coke when I won.

I used to skate every friday when i was in my teens at the Harbor roller rink. That was across from Albertons on Iris street. Nick used to let me make pizza when I got home from Corona del mar High. Then the port theater.They made a restaurant there called The place across the street from the port theater. Loved there swiss orange chip ice cream too. I used to find all sorts of great but obscure bands.Īnd who couldn't forget the Hamburger Hamlet located right out in front? I'd gather 20-30 CDs, listen to them, and figure out which ones to buy, and they'd only cost $1.00 to $3.00 each. They also had a room just for used CDs, with CD players so that you could listen to them. In my college years, during the mid-1980s, I was into electronic music and no where else could I find stuff from artists like Walter Carlos (before he became Wendy Carlos), or Terry Riley, Isao Tomita, or Kraftwerk. It was in the shopping center on Harbor & Adams, next to the Ice Chalet rink. I loved the koy pond and the wooden bridge.I sure do remember Licorice Pizza, they were really big during the late 1970s, when they went head-to-head against Tower Records.Īnd yes, I remember Music Market! That was my favorite place to get records. I also remember the Tiki themed apartments on Wilson across the street from Tic Toc convenience store. We used to cut across the alley that ran parallel to the golf course and hop the fence. We used to get up to no good at the Ambassador Inn (Harbor & Wilson) by sneaking in and using the swimming pool. Does anyone remember: Licorice Pizza (record store) near Newport Blvd? Also, the Harbor Roller rink, Music Market (on Harbor and Adams), and Kona Lanes. I was born and raised in OC and spent my formative years in Costa Mesa during the 70's early 80's.
