What part of Torrance do you live in? I lived in Torrance in the 50's. I lived at 3953 w. 187 st. and went to North High, graduated in 59 and joined the Army. I was looking at Bing maps today and there is nothing the same anymore except the power lines. So many apartment houses, I can't figure where everyone works.
When I lived there all we had was bean fields and strawberry patch's. and believe it or not Torrance didn't have any smog. Later Dave sword181

That was a long time ago. I think that was the Harvey plant. When I was a kid at North High they took us to the Harvey plant for a field trip. I remember that was south of Douglas.
