WESTCHESTER 'FLICKR' GROUP
I set up a Westchester group at Yahoo's Flickr site and put up some old and rare stuff on it. Thankfully, other people have, too.WikipediaThe free internet international encyclopedia has category on this fare suburb
ARGONAUT NEWSPAPER
A fine free local newspaper that covers Santa Monica all the way down to Westchester. One too many real estate pages, but it's better than nothing.
MEMORIES OF WESTCHESTER, CA 1960-1975
I just bumped into this WordPress blog and it's quite a find! It's a blog that is all about Westchester and alumni from Westchester High School from that era. Much more going on at their Facebook page!
SOUNDSATIONS RECORDS
The oldest record store in Westchester has their own site! Staff bios, blogs, photo, picks and so on. Just don't ask them about 'net deals....you have been warned.
LOYOLA THEATER
Kinda brief page and it only has one picture. However, The Daily Breeze has a nifty page on its history that's quite large!

I bumped into this simple yet interesting page about the abandned section underneath the LAX flightpath near Playa Del Ray. It also contains links to other sites with more photos of the houses JUST before their destruction.

DONALD BAIN
As noted in the Coffee Tea Or Me' page, Bain was the ghost writer for the series. Well, this ain't the only project that's kept him busy. Sadly, his personal site was pulled after he died in October 2017. Here's the Wikipedia page on him.
FLIGHT PATH MUSEUM & LEARNING CENTER
Housed in the old Imperial Terminal, this museum showcases the history of LAX and how aviation has shaped Southern California.
WORLD AIRLINE HISTORICAL SOCIETY
This organization runs many airline memorabilia shows across the country with two stops next to LAX per year. This page lists these shows. So, if you get an itch to scratch for the old airline stuff....
SKYSHIRTS
If you got a favorite airline and not afraid to wear their brand and logo on your chest, SkyShirts seems to be the place to take care of that need. Why should sports and comic book fans have all the (exhibitionist) fun!

VENICE BEACH
The site is highly recommended. You'll know enough about this town without paying the damned rent. Also, check out Jeffrey Stanton's updated reissued Venice Beach book, 'Venice Of America: Coney Island of the Pacific'. Another mondo recommendation!!
LOTTALIVING!
If you though this site is slightly nuts over old and mid-centuiry modern, check this message board of like minded fanboys and fangirls who are far more hipper than comic book/sci-fi geeks.
YO VENICE
A fine funky blog about all what's currently going on in Venice Beach. Updated almost daily!!
