For people unfamiliar with the Thrifty's chain, they were beloved by kids all over LA because they all had an icecream counter where you could buy a single scoop cone for like 15 cents (in the early '80s).

I think it might’ve been 25 cents, but the boomers would tell us how ice cream used to cost them a dime. If I was lucky I used to get a double scoop with black cherry and rainbow sherbet. Rite Aid took over thrifty and still sells the ice cream.

I was born in Encino 1964. I grew up in Canoga Park. I went to Limerick Elementary, Columbus Jr High, and then Chatsworth High. I was a bouncer at Fantasia in Northridge in the late 80s and early 90s. My sister was a bartender at The Red Onion, now called BJ's on Canoga Ave. I do remember that story about Adam. I also remember that sad picture of Adam on the cover of the Daily News. It was a huge photo. I totally understand your pops feelings about that picture. I felt the same way. My thoughts and prayers to Adam's family. On a lighter note. Does anyone remember the Teen Center on Victory Blvd. They had a teen dance club that we hung out at for years. They also had BMX races there. I remember meeting Slash from Guns and Rose's there. He was just a kid named Saul back then.

I used to work at five star veterinary in Sylmar, I shopped at that dollar tree, and didn’t notice the thrifty entrance. I am learning so much! You should check with the guys at the valley Museum that are preserving old signs and things of the valley. I think they’re by the Van Nuys airport now. Maybe they would help preserve the thrifty entrances. I am loving these walks down memory lane and, it’s nostalgia that I can look at again and again. Love it. 🙏🏻🥰🙌🏻

Great episode, as always. We really were gifted with architecture and design that had so many cool, resonant elements. So much of it has been lost gradually over the past 30 or so years, but it's increased at an incredible rate over the last 3 years. I hate to say it, but I expect it will nearly all be gone in the next 10 (or less). What it's being replaced with is not even worth acknowledging. You never know when you're living through a golden era, as it turns out we were not all that long ago. It's absolutely heartbreaking to watch all signs of it being extinguished, but taking a broad view I suppose it would be more sad to have never experienced it. Please keep up the documentation. The era we're living through now is very bittersweet but also important.

What struck me about this episode is we are now at #23???? Wow. I remember Valley Pres because my GF at the time worked there. This would have been around 1980-81. She was an RN and worked in the Trauma Ward per diem. I wonder if the old Thrifty store that used to be at Vanowen and Van Nuys Blvd. (or is it Victory?) has the logo on the ground at the entrance as well. At least you have documented this on video. I agree with you about filming as much as you can. I wished I would have taken more pics in the Valley when I lived there. I am now 68 and in two years I may start my own KZfaq channel.

The realtor probably paid less giving out ice cream than he would renting a billboard. Plus tax write-offs; he was probably getting free gas for personal use. 19:01 An indoor no smoking sign... you don't see those anymore. My local mall had all the ashtrays converted into plant holders in the late 90s. And by "converted" I mean they put plants in them. For years people clearly saw plants in ashtrays but the next generation just saw plant holders. I asked a few kids if they knew and they had no idea and were fascinated. They didn't even know you could smoke inside. That mall was torn down over 10 years ago now. I got to shoplift from it as a kid and also work security there just after high school. Fun times. I also met my wife there. I love your channel and wish you all the best! Thanks for another great upload.

Now it's a Mexican food joint, but the exterior is still the same after all these years.

So I never had interesting places right nearby that I have cool memories of like this. But even having no memories of these in this video, it’s still fascinating to me, because I wish that had dud have these places growing up. Interesting too, both K-Mart and Comerica Bank (that I briefly saw in a shot) are both things that started in Michigan. I’ve lived in Central Florida the past 25 years, and we used to have K-Marts here, but have never had Comerica banks. At least not that I know of. Yet they’re all the way out in California. Wild.

I thought for sure they would have done something with it.
