Memories:
Growing Up in Costa Mesa

By: Terry, 2 Apr. 2002

Remember before the flood channel when Founyain Valley was called Gosipel Swamp and really was a swamp with poiisnis snakes.Remember when we had strawberry fields everywhere and they'd let you gleen the fields when they were through harvisting. Remember when after a Santa Ana wind you had to drive carefully because there were tumble weeds everywhere,,,,,,I had to take a pithch fork and throw them out of my driveway to get my car out. Remember when Slater Lake had water and not a leak. Remember the Mushroom Farm on Golden West....They had the best ferilizer ever.Remember when Miles Square park was a helicopter training basand you could always hear them flying overhead. Remember when the were still samll farms in huntington Beach and Fountain Vally.......and Magnolia Ave was two lanes right above Warner Ave Remember when the 405 just stopped at Beach Blvd
