The Belisle's post got such a big response, I figure I might as well post a couple more images of the place. The photo above appears in the Belisle's book I mentioned and was taken in 1955. The second photo shows just how rural that stretch of Harbor Blvd. was in the early years..
Dave, who supplied two of yesterday's photos of Belisle's, has also posted photos and video of The City mall in Orange -- now the site of The Block.

The Register just featured an article about the Encyclopedia Lots in Huntington Beach. It seems the City is buying more of them to add space to Central Park. This follows a related article published in March. If memory serves, they both have the name of the Encyclopedia wrong.

There was also an interesting interview with Merl “Bus” Cornelius, the former superintendent of construction and operations manager for South Coast Plaza. He discusses the development of a place we've all visited many times.
